“The world is full of tragedy; and sympathy, a little common sympathy, can do so much to soften the worst of grief. It is for the lack of that, that people despair and go down.”
“Grief lasts longer than sympathy, which is one of the tragedies of the grieving.”
“Mr. Complete Lack of Sympathy”
“It is much more easy to have sympathy with suffering than it is to have sympathy with thought.”
“Horror was rooted in sympathy . . . in understanding what it would be like to suffer the worst.”
“Love and LoyaltyIf ever men and women are their simplest, sincerest selves, it is when suffering softens the one, and sympathy strengthens the other.”
