“As the air to a bird or the sea to a fish, so is contempt to the contemptible.”
William Blake
“When the people of a nation out of sincere ignorance, conscientious stupidity, and/or apathy cheer and support liars and murderers like Bush and Blair they are breeding contempt for the laws of the land. These people will find themselves, sooner rather than later, surrounded by incomprehensible evil wherever they go. They become more like fish in a barrel than people.”
Bobby W. Miller
“Familiarity breeds contempt - and children”
Mark Twain
“He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.”
Albert Einstein
“Teach not thy lip such scorn, for it was made For kissing, lady, not for such contempt.”
William Shakespeare
“To punish me for my contempt for authority, fate made me an authority myself.”
“Man is so much more sensitive to the contempt of others than to contempt for himself.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
