“Contempt leaves a deeper scar than anger.”
“Ah, there is nothing more beautiful than the difference between the thought about sinful creatures which is natural to a holy being, and the thought about sinful creatures which is natural to a self-righteous being. The one is all contempt: the other, all pity.”
“There is no room in the universe for the least contempt or pride; but only for a gentle and a reverent heart.”
“Call me what instrument you will, though you can fret me, yet you cannot play upon me.”
“There is always some contempt in pity. One pities poor old Oedipus, but one doesn't pity Job.”
