#Pity

"Pity and friendship are two passions incompatible with each other."

"Popular culture is a place where pity is called compassion, flattery is called love, propaganda is called knowledge, tension is called peace, gossip is called news, and auto-tune is called singing."

"That is the challenge Companion. To take what has happened to you and learn from it. Nothing is quite so destructive as pity, especially self-pity. No event in life is so terrible that one cannot rise above it."

"For those constantly full of joy, they sometimes feel a little guilty for always feeling so good. That guilt is compassion: it flies in with an attempt to share one's joy with others who do not have it."

"The person who deserves most pity is a lonesome one on a rainy day who doesn't know how to read."

"Rule Number Two, Monsignor. Do not show pity."

"Pity the selfishness of lovers: it is brief, a forlorn hope; it is impossible."

"Some things take so longBut how do I explainWhen not too many peopleCan see we're all the sameAnd because of all their tearsYour eyes can't hope to seeThe beauty that surrounds themNow, isn't it a pity"
