Beauty plus pity -- that is the closest we can get to a definition of art.
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
I literally feel pity for a lot of the stupid idiots that I have to deal with.
Rose McGowan
Image
If I gave you a pity position it wouldn't be in my office.
Janet Evanovich
Image
Laugh at yourself and at life. Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity, but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective that seemingly terrible defeat... Never take yourself too seriously.
Og Mandino
Image
Many years ago, when I was once saying sadly to Max it was a pity I couldn't have taken up archaeology when I was a girl, so as to be more knowledgeable on the subject, he said, 'Don't you realize that at this moment you know more about prehistoric pottery than any woman in England?'
Agatha Christie
Image
Have charity towards all beings. Pity those who are in distress. Love all creatures. Do not be jealous of anyone. Look not to the faults of others.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
A brother's sufferings claim a brother's pity.
Joseph Addison
Image
Without courage, honor, compassion, pity, love and sacrifice, as William Faulkner pointed out, we know not of love, but lust. We debase our audience. But we can ennoble and enrich our viewers and ourselves in our journey through this good time, this precious time, this great and wonderful experience we call life.
Earl Hamner, Jr.
Image
Pity aims just as little at the pleasure of others as malice at the pain of others Per-Se.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I must, before I die, find some way to say the essential thing that is in me, that I have never said yet -- a thing that is not love or hate or pity or scorn, but the very breath of life, fierce and coming from far away, bringing into human life the vastness and the fearful passionless force of non-human things.
Bertrand Russell
Image
Many are those who pity others while being blind to their own misfortunes.
Shinjo Ito
Image
Doubtless a great anguish may do the work of years, and we may come out from that baptism of fire with a soul full of new awe and new pity.
George Eliot
Image
Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent.
Terry Goodkind
Image
I have always, privately and humbly, thought it a pity that so good a word [as culture] should go out of the best vocabularies for when you lose an abstract term, you are apt to lose the thing it stands for.
Katharine Fullerton Gerould
Image
Even your pity is like a blast of wind and the words you speak would strip a tree of its blossoms.
Tulsidas
Image
It is easy to romanticize poverty, to see poor people as inherently lacking agency and will. It is easy to strip them of human dignity, to reduce them to objects of pity. This has never been clearer than in the view of Africa from the American media, in which we are shown poverty and conflicts without any context.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Image
Nothing but the infinite Pity is sufficient for the infinite pathos of human life.
Joseph Henry
Image
Satirize wickedness if you must--but pity weakness.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Image
Pain is a gift. Humanity, without pain, would know neither fear nor pity. Without fear, there could be no humility, and every man would be a monster. The recognition of pain and fear in others give rise in us to pity, and in our pity is our humanity, our redemption.
Dean Koontz
Image
The Christian pities men because they are dying, and the Buddhist pities them because they are living. The Christian is sorry for what damages the life of a man but the Buddhist is sorry for him because he is alive.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Image
New York City gritty committee pity the fool that act shitty in the midst of the calm, the witty.
Pharoahe Monch
Image
What a pity that in life we only get our lessons when they are of no use to us.
Oscar Wilde
Image
It is strange how little sharpsightedness women possess they only notice whether they please, then whether they arouse pity, and finally, whether you look for compassion from them. That is all come to think of it, it may even be enough, generally speaking.
Franz Kafka
Image
Never take yourself too seriously.
Ariana Grande
