“God give me anything but a good man's pity.”

“You could not pity anything if you weren't a man; pity was a surprise to God. It was not his invention.”

“God doesn't give a man anything more precious than a good woman.”

“Ah, where in the world have there been greater follies than with the pitiful? And what in the world hath caused more suffering than the follies of the pitiful?Woe unto all loving ones who have not an elevation which is above their pity!Thus spake the devil unto me, once on a time: "Even God hath his hell: it is his love for man." And lately, did I hear him say these words: "God is dead: of his pity for man hath God died.”

“God forbid, if something happened & she lost him for good, she would give up anything to have him back. Anything & everything.”

“There is no such thing as a great man of God, only weak, pitiful, faithless men of a great and merciful God.”
