“You have to find the sympathy in theatrical parts. And I think she's a sympathetic character. I think she's been wronged.”
Amanda Fuller
“Do not be afraid of showing your affection. Be warm and tender, thoughtful and affectionate. Men are more helped by sympathy, than by service; love is more than money, and a kind word will give more pleasure than a present.”
John Lubbock
“I don't get much sympathy because Andy's such a loveable character. Anything Robert does seems to provoke a negative reaction from people on the street. I think one or two people feel a bit sorry for him now and again but it doesn't last very long.”
Karl Davies
“I can sympathize with everything, except suffering.”
Oscar Wilde
“Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero
“We find nothing easier than being wise, patient, superior. We drip with the oil of forbearance and sympathy, we are absurdly just, we forgive everything. For that very reason we ought to discipline ourselves a little; for that very reason we ought to cultivate a little emotion, a little emotional vice, from time to time. It may be hard for us; and among ourselves we may perhaps laugh at the appearance we thus present. But what of that! We no longer have any other mode of self-overcoming available to us: this is our asceticism, our penance.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Sympathy with joy intensifies the sum of sympathy in the world, sympathy with pain does not really diminish the amount of pain.”
