However we may pity the mother whose health and even life is imperiled by the performance of her natural duty, there yet remains no sufficient reason for condoning the direct murder of the innocent
Pope Pius XI
Self-pity is easily the most destructive of the nonpharmaceutical narcotics; it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure and separates the victim from reality.
John W. Gardner
Misfortune, and recited misfortune especially, may be prolonged to the point where it ceases to excite pity and arouses only irritation.
Dorothy Parker
If I can send the flower of the German nation into the hell of war without the smallest pity for the shedding of precious German blood, then surely I have the right to remove millions of an inferior race that breeds like vermin
Adolf Hitler
The best of our theater is standing on tiptoe, striving to see over the shoulders of father and mother. The worst is exploiting and wallowing in the self-pity of adolescence and obsessive keyhole sexuality. The way out, as the poet says, is always through...
Arthur Miller
I know I cannot hold on to them forever, but I will as long as I can. I pity the first boy to knock on the door for a date. I`m gonna buy ten more Rambo outfits just to make sure they`re too scared to put a foot wrong. They will probably all run a mile, w...
Sylvester Stallone
I think most people thought it was a pity I wasn`t allowed to grapple so much with the ladies. And he wasn`t allowed to smoke; I think I managed to get a few puffs in, which they then cut out.
Timothy Dalton
[on Marlon Brando] As an actor, he is a genius and even when he`s dull he`s still much better than most actors at the top of their form. But he has preserved the mentality of an adolescent. It`s a pity. When he doesn`t try and someone`s speaking to him it...
Burt Reynolds
Actually, I hold a degree in speech therapy. I was going to get my doctorate but acting got in the way. Pity, I always thought I`d like to do something dignified.
Madeline Kahn
I tend to be a lazy actress, unless I`m pushed. Most of the time nothing much is required of directors, which is a pity. I`ve worked with very few directors who`ve asked of me what I asked of myself.
Asia Argento
[on North by Northwest (1959)] "Our original title, you know, was `The Man in Lincoln`s Nose`. Couldn`t use it, though. They also wouldn`t let us shoot people on Mount Rushmore. Can`t deface a national monument. And it`s a pity, too, because I had a wonde...
Alfred Hitchcock
I hated Hollywood. It`s a town without pity. I know of no other place in the world where so many people suffer from nervous breakdowns, where there are so many alcoholics, neurotics, and so much unhappiness.
Grace Kelly
You must not pity me because my sixtieth year finds me still astonished. To be astonished is one of the surest ways of not growing old too quickly.
Andrea Ruedi
Without Khomeini, we would not be where we are. What a pity that, when pregnant with him, his mother did not choose to have an abortion.
Oriana Fallaci
When Man evolved Pity, he did a queer thing - deprived himself of the power of living life as it is without wishing it to become something different.
John Galsworthy
We shall stick it out to the end, but we are getting weaker of course and the end cannot be far. It seems a pity, but I do not think I can write more. For God`s sake, look after our people.
Robert Falcon Scott
There is no need to waste pity on young girls who are having their moments of disillusionment, for in another moment they will recover their illusion.
Andrea Ruedi
