#Pity

"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."

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

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

"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"

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

"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."

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