Pitiful Quotes (page 5)

Herman Melville quote: "To a sensitive being, pity is not seldom pain."
To a sensitive being, pity is not seldom pain. Herman Melville
She was like me in lineaments-- her eyes. Her hair, her features, all, to the very tone. Even of her voice, they said were like to mine; But soften'd all, and temper'd into beauty; She had the same lone thoughts and wanderings, The quest of hidden knowledge, and a mind. To comprehend the universe: nor these. Alone, but with them gentler powers than mine, Pity, and smiles, and tears-- which I had not; And tenderness-- but that I had for her; Humility-- and that I never had. Her faults were... George Byron
Sara Teasdale quote: "In my heart's most secret place, I pity them as angels do."
In my heart's most secret place, I pity them as angels do. Sara Teasdale
George Bernard Shaw quote: "Youth, what a pity to waste it on the young."
Youth, what a pity to waste it on the young. George Bernard Shaw
It seems to me, that if people only knew how hard it was for me to endure life, they would find it easier to forgive me for all the wrong things I’ve done and all the good things that I have failed to do. And they would still find a little compassion within them to pity me. Ivo Andric
Thy love wakes thirst for Heaven in one and all: Leper, pimp, outcast, fool and criminal, Satan, O pity my long wretchedness! Charles Baudelaire
Starvation!" exclaimed the abbe, springing from his seat. "Why, the vilest animals are not suffered to die by such a death as that. The very dogs that wander houseless and homeless in the streets find some pitying hand to cast them a mouthful of bread; and that a man, a Christian, should be allowed to perish of hunger in the midst of other men who call themselves Christians, is too horrible for belief. Oh, it is impossible - utterly impossible! Alexander Dumas
If you took this thing on yourself, unwilling, at others' asking, then you have pity and honour from me. And I marvel at you: to keep it hid and not to use it. You are a new people and a new world to me. Are all your kin of like sort? Your land must be a realm of peace and content, and there must gardners be in high hounour. J. R. R. Tolkien
this is what happens to the plans of humans, it is when they make them in the midst of their pleasures that death cuts the thread of their days without pity, and in the midst of life, without ever concerning themselves with this fatal moment, living as though they were to exist for ever, they disappear into the obscure cloud of immortality, uncertain of the fate which lies in store for them. Marquis de Sade
Oh! Stars and clouds and winds, ye are all about to mock me; if ye really pity me, crush sensation and memory; let me become as nought; but if not, depart, depart, and leave me in darkness. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
My life is a pitiful, mechanical thing without a past, like a little wind-up car, ready to run in any direction someone points me. Barbara Kingsolver
It would be a thousand pities if women wrote like men, or lived like men, or looked like men, for if two sexes are quite inadequate, considering the vastness and variety of the world, how should we manage with one only? Ought not education to bring out and fortify the differences rather than the similarities? Virginia Woolf
Benjamin Harrison quote: "I pity the man who wants a coat so cheap that the manor woman..."
I pity the man who wants a coat so cheap that the manor woman who produces the cloth will starve in the process. Benjamin Harrison
And alien tears will fill for him pity's long broken urn. For his mourners will all be outcast men, and outcasts always mourn. Oscar Wilde
For our face and body were beautiful. Our face was not like the faces of our brothers, for we felt not pity when looking upon it. Our body was not like the bodies of our brothers, for our limbs were straigth and thin and hard and strong. And we thought that we could trust this being who looked upon us from the stream, and that we had nothing to fear with this being. Ayn Rand
