Once the emotions have been aroused - a sense of the beautiful, the excitement of the new and the unknown, a feeling of sympathy, pity, admiration or love - then we wish for knowledge about the subject of our emotional response. Once found, it has lasting meaning. It is more important to pave the way for the child to want to know than to put him on a diet of facts he is not ready to assimilate. View quote
Rachel Carson

There are no souls, Melba thought with a touch of pity. We are bags of meat with a little electricity running through them. No ghosts, no spirits, no souls. The only thing that survives is the story people tell about you. The only thing that matters is your name. (Daniel Abraham)
Women are very intelligent and not appreciated. We try to pretend that we are not clever, and it's such a pity that we can't show how clever we are. View quote

Delmore Schwartz
The time has come and fall has come so pretty... The yellow leaves are flying over the city... I am in love with you. Your golden hair is flying so clear in the air. I am in love with fall, which came with rain... It brought the morning mists... The days are waned... I know the wintry wind will break her gown. I say to fall: come back, don't let me down. The yellow leaves are whirling in the city. I've met my love too late, it is a pity. At last we are together and forever. I know well that better late than never. The time has come and fall has come so pretty... The yellow leaves as dreams adorned the city... I am in love with you. Your golden hair is flying as a cobweb in the air... View quote
Volodymyr Melnykov
Some one has to be kind, girl - some one has to pity people! Christ pitied everybody - and he said to us: "Go and do likewise!" I tell you - if you pity a man when he most needs it, good comes of it. View quote
Maxim Gorky
We should not replace pity with fear in our relationship with the working class. It is a source of shame that Labour did not and does not represent the hopes and fears of the working class, by becoming a party that disapproves of their fears and is nervous of their hopes. View quote
Maurice Glasman, Baron Glasman
It is a pity that doing one's best doesn't always answer. View quote
Charlotte Brontë
When you visualized a man or woman carefully, you could always begin to feel pity -- that was a quality God's image carried with it. When you saw the lines at the corners of the eyes, the thape of the mouth, how the hair grew, it was impossible to hate. Hate was just a failure of imagination. View quote
Graham Greene
She knows as well as anyone that pity, having played, soon tires. View quote

Henry David Thoreau
We falsely attribute to men a determined character putting together all their yesterdays and averaging them we presume we know them. Pity the man who has character to support it is worse than a large family he is the silent poor indeed. (Henry David Thoreau)
A man may acquire a taste for wine or brandy, and so lose his love for water, but should we not pity him. View quote
Henry David Thoreau
Then your charitable speeches may find vent; then you may remember and pity the toil and the struggle and the failure; then you may give due honour to the work achieved; then you may find extenuation for errors, and may consent to bury them. View quote
George Eliot
God pity us indeed, for we are human, And do not always see The vision when it comes, the shining change, Or, if we see it, do not follow it, Because it is too hard, too strange, too new, Too unbelievable, too difficult, Warring too much with common, easy ways. View quote
Stephen Vincent Benét
...I found the world of nonprofits funny to begin with just because having worked there, you see that people are so altruistic and they're so benevolent and they're pretty selfless and you're working generally for a great cause.But the atmosphere within the work environment can be oddly competitive. People want the credit. Sometimes they don't listen to the people they're trying to help. And for me, this white guilt is so prevalent at this nonprofit. And they're so - they treat the kids as this pity party. And for me, I would hate to work in an environment like this, but it's ripe for comedy. View quote
