Sentimentality Quotes

Most shows find themselves descending into sentimentality or earnestness at some point but, with ‘Community,’ the joke is always on Picture Quote #1

I distinguish sentiment from sentimentality. Sentimentality makes your skin crawl. It’s like too much sugar. But, sentiment is a great feeling Picture Quote #1

I didn’t want to be on the losing side. I was fed up with Jewish weakness, timidity and fear. I didn’t want any more Jewish sentimentality and Jewish suffering. I was sickened by our sad songs Picture Quote #1

Sentimentality, the ostentatious parading of excessive and spurious emotion, is the mark of dishonesty...the wet eyes of the sentimentalist betray his aversion to experience, his fear of life, his arid heart; and it is always, therefore, the signal of secret and violent humanity, the mark of cruelty Picture Quote #1

No sentimentality, no romance, no false hope, no self-petting lies, merely that which is! Picture Quote #1

You have to avoid caricature, at the one end of the spectrum, and sentimentality, at the other; which is not to say that such characters shouldn’t be funny part of the time, or that their actions shouldn’t evoke genuine feeling Picture Quote #1

I don’t like mushiness. I’m a very emotional person but I hate sentimentality. I don’t like great demonstrations of emotion. But as I’m getting older, I’m getting much more open about all that Picture Quote #1

Dying is overrated. Human sentimentality has twisted it into the ultimate act of love. Biggest load of bullshit in the world. Dying for someone isn’t the hard thing. The man that dies escapes. Plain and simple. Game over. End of pain...Try living for someone. Through it all-good, bad, thick, thin, joy, suffering. That’s the hard thing Picture Quote #1

And if I have a strong point, it’s that I like to believe it’s not cheap or schmaltzy sentimentality Picture Quote #1

From Romare Bearden I learned that the fullness and richness of everyday life can be rendered without compromise or sentimentality Picture Quote #1

On occasion, I like to reread my grandfather’s letters. While leafing through them, I’m saddened by what is being lost in modern communication. Soul-baring sentimentality isn’t typically poured into text messages, tweets and emails. All too often, personal connections are brushed aside for the sake of convenience in a fast-paced world Picture Quote #1

There is no true joy and compassion except through the difficult emotions - all we get without the experience of fear, anger, and sadness are cheap imitations of joy and compassion - pleasantness and sentimentality Picture Quote #1

I don’t trust sentimentality in men; it goes with tyranny; you can’t have one without the other Picture Quote #1

Old birds like Orlovius are wonderfully easy to lead by the beak, because a combination of decency and sentimentality is exactly equal to being a fool Picture Quote #1

Kindness is about energy we give and take from all creatures. The bottom line is the integrative interaction and the total interconnectedness between human beings, all creatures, and God. Kindness is a spirituality of solid truth, not shifting emotion; of justice, not occasional philanthropy; of genuine love, not sentimentality or masochism; of evolved adults, not fixated infants Picture Quote #1

The psychiatrist knows only too well how each of us becomes the helpless but not pitiable victim of his own sentiments. Sentimentality is the superstructure erected upon brutality Picture Quote #1

The Rolling Stones have been the best of all possible worlds: they have the lack of pretension and sentimentality associated with the blues, the rawness and toughness of hard rock, and the depth which always makes you feel that they are in the midst of saying something. They have never impressed me as being kitsch Picture Quote #1

Animal lovers are a special breed of humans, generous of spirit, full of empathy, perhaps a little prone to sentimentality, and with hearts as big as a cloudless sky Picture Quote #1

India is desperately romantic, utterly unashamed of its sentimentality, its generosity, its fierce pride and massive heart Picture Quote #1

I like emotions, but I really don’t like sentimentality, and I don’t like when things break their spell Picture Quote #1

The banality of evil transmutes into the banality of sentimentality. The world is nothing but a problem to be solved by enthusiasm Picture Quote #1

If spirituality is not religion or cynicism or sentimentality or narcissism, then what is it?... we can confidently say... that spirituality is fearlessness. It is a way of looking boldly at this life we have been given, here, now, on earth, as this human being Picture Quote #1

Sentimentality and nostalgia are closely related. Kissing cousins. I have no time for nostalgia, though. Nostalgics believe the past is nicer than the present. It isn’t. Or wasn’t. Nostalgics want to cuddle the past like a puppy. But the past has bloody teeth and bad breath. I look into its mouth like a sorrowing dentist Picture Quote #1

I’m not against sentimentality. I think you need it. I mean, I don’t think you get a true picture of people without it in writing... It’s a kind of poetry, it’s an emotional poetry, and, to bring it back to the literary scene, I don’t think anything is true that doesn’t have it, that doesn’t have poetry in it Picture Quote #1

I know this body is impatient. I know I constitute only a meager voice and mind. Yet I loved, I love. I want no sentimentality. I want no more than home Picture Quote #1

Unless we are willing to escape into sentimentality or fantasy, often the best we can do with catastrophes, even our own, is to find out exactly what happened and restore some of the missing parts Picture Quote #1

If you’re striving for strong emotion and strong sentiment, and you’re authentic with it and honest with it, then you’re on the right side of the line. But if you step into sentimentality, there is a false move or a false tone to it Picture Quote #1

Love without courage and wisdom is sentimentality, as with the ordinary church member. Courage without love and wisdom is foolhardiness, as with the ordinary soldier. Wisdom without love and courage is cowardice, as with the ordinary intellectual. But the one who has love, courage and wisdom moves the world Picture Quote #1
