Alice Walker
“Hard times' is a phrase the English love to use, when speaking of Africa. And it is easy to forget that Africa's 'hard times' were made harder by them.”
Alice Walker, The Color Purple

Aletheia Luna
“One of the major reasons why empaths and narcissists are attracted to each other is because of the empaths desire to help the narcissist, and the narcissist鈥檚 desire to take advantage of the empath鈥檚 emotional support. As I mentioned before, pity is our Achilles heel, and we often mistake it for the experience of love.”
Aletheia Luna, Awakened Empath: The Ultimate Guide to Emotional, Psychological and Spiritual Healing

Kate McGahan
“Not everyone understands the love that takes place between two soul mates. Once it strikes, you are never the same. Then every song you hear about true love finally makes sense. All the famous love poems resonate in your heart when you read them. You come to recognize those who have also come to recognize the deepest, truest love 鈥nd they recognize you too. You cannot experience this level of relationship with someone who has not been into the depths of love and spirit. You cannot fault them. They are on their own path and if you do anything, pity them for not yet knowing what love is all about.”
Kate McGahan, Jack McAfghan: Return from Rainbow Bridge: A Dog's Afterlife Story of Loss, Love and Renewal

“We are a society that treats people with disabilities with condescension and pity, not dignity and respect.”
Stella Young

DaShanne Stokes
“Bigots often like to say they're the ones being hurt as they oppress and hurt others. Never fall for the 'pity the privileged' routine.”
DaShanne Stokes

Louise Erdrich
“I was not prepared to think of the people I had lost, or to speak of them, although we did, carefully, without letting their names loose in the wind that would reach their ears. We feared that they would hear us and never rest, come back out of pity for the loneliness we felt.”
Louise Erdrich, Tracks

Daisy Johnson
“The understanding pity of others is a hole.”
Daisy Johnson, Everything Under

Hanif Kureishi
“However angry I was with him, however much I wanted to humiliate Terry, I suddenly saw such humanity in his eyes, and in the way he tried to smile - such innocence in the way he wanted to understand me, and such possibility of pain, along with the implicit assumption that he wouldn't be harmed - that I pulled away.”
Hanif Kureishi, The Buddha of Suburbia

Wilhelm Reich
“Under the influence of politicians, masses of people tend to ascribe the responsibility for wars to those who wield power at any given time. In World War I it was the munitions industrialists; in World War II it was the psychopathic generals who were said to be guilty. This is passing the buck. The responsibility for wars falls solely upon the shoulders of these same masses of people, for they have all the necessary means to avert war in their own hands. In part by their apathy, in part by their passivity, and in part actively, these same masses of people make possible the catastrophes under which they themselves suffer more than anyone else. To stress this guilt on the part of masses of people, to hold them solely responsible, means to take them seriously. On the other hand, to commiserate masses of people as victims, means to treat them as small, helpless children. The former is the attitude held by the genuine freedom-fighters; the latter the attitude held by the power-thirsty politicians.”
Wilhelm Reich, The Mass Psychology of Fascism

Criss Jami
“In some countries, the strictly Progressive man reveals himself to be just as much as if not more prejudiced than the typical Reactionary. There is at times a sort of arrogant condescension in one's gushing, bleeding-heartedness, in that, behind the mask of social activism, one is acting on behalf of one's perceived 'inferiors'. He may promote himself as the savior of the world; he may pat on the head all those he insidiously assumes to be the lesser, whether in status or class or ability, and treat them as helpless children: but the biggest danger of all is that by his own conscience he may feel for them, think for them, and thus, decide for them. It is with such, this artificial brand of empathy, and self-righteousness and narcissism, that we always naively yet so ignorantly pity 'the others', and ultimately, in our schemes to secure them, we merely hold them down.”
Criss Jami, Healology

Sophocles
“No pity for these things, there is no pity but mine, oh father, for the pity of your butchering rawblood death.”
Sophocles, Electra

Mokokoma Mokhonoana
“People who died of starvation are not nearly as pitiful as those who died of overeating.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Alas, where in the world have there been greater follies than with the compassionate?
And what in the world has caused more suffering than the follies of the compassionate?
Woe to all lovers who cannot surmount pity!
Thus spoke the Devil to me once: Even God has his Hell: it is his love for man.
And I lately heard him say these words: God is dead; God has died of his pity for man.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“It is a pity that dead men are still impacting the world while men who are still alive are wasting away, roaming the world without an understanding of what to do with their time.”
Sunday Adelaja, How To Become Great Through Time Conversion: Are you wasting time, spending time or investing time?

Bangambiki Habyarimana
“Crying and hoping that someone will feel pity, is folly. Rise and do something to escape your evil predicament”
Bangambiki Habyarimana, Book of Wisdom

Emily Fridlund
“This was the best and worst thing about my wife: she felt sorry for me. When I put my work boots on the mantel or fell asleep on her side of the bed, she'd groan and clench her teeth. She'd kiss me, long and deep, a sigh of disappointment.”
Emily Fridlund, Catapult

Emily Bront毛
“We do sometimes pity creatures that have none of the feeling either for themselves or others”
Emily Bront毛, Wuthering Heights

“We can awaken in people feelings like: love, hate, despair ... those depend on them; but pity and disappointment, only depend on ourselves ...”
Jasmin Alexander

Ally Carter
“Noah is grinning at me, teasing, mocking just a little. He doesn't know that he should hate me. Fear me. Pity me. I should like him for that, but in the end I can't respect anyone who could be foolish enough to be sucked into all of my lies.”
Ally Carter, See How They Run

Mokokoma Mokhonoana
“Feeling sorry for our bodies ought to be the closest we get to feeling sorry for ourselves.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“It鈥檚 a pity that majority of people on earth are either not measuring their lives at all or are measuring their lives by just one product a year.”
Sunday Adelaja, How To Become Great Through Time Conversion: Are you wasting time, spending time or investing time?

“Is that what you are going to do when someone tries to take your life from you? Or the lives of your family? Yield and hope that they take pity on you?”
Adam Burch, Song of Edmon

“And, much more than hate, it is pity which is the opposite, the doom, of love. For to love or hate truly, you need to be equals, or at least close in strength. But pity is a thing which flows from the strong to the weak.”
Cameron Dokey, Kissed: Once Upon A Time Omnibus Belle/Sunlight and Shadow/Winter's Child
