Pathetic Quotations
Everything human is pathetic. The secret source of humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven. Mark Twain I like to think of myself as a New Yorker, which is pathetic. Moon Unit Zappa Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance. H. L. Mencken Many possessions, if they do not make a man better, are at least expected to make his children happier; and this pathetic hope is behind many exertions. George Santayana All violent feelings have the same effect. They produce in us a falseness in all our impressions of external things, which I would generally characterize as the pathetic fallacy. John Ruskin |
