"A sorrow’s crown of sorrow is remembering happier times." ― Alfred Lord Tennyson Topic(s): Sympathy More From Alfred Lord Tennyson "The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions." "‘Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." "Love is the only gold." More In Sympathy "I think we were raised in a nice Texas Jewish family where education was the most important thing, and close behind that was the arts. It was emphasized and expected that we’d play piano."― Lisa Loeb "I want the municipality to be a helping hand to the man with a desire of sympathy, to help the fallen when it is not in their power to help themselves."― John Burns "I’ve always thought of acting as more of an exercise in empathy, which is not to be confused with sympathy. You’re trying to get inside a certain emotional reality or motivational reality and try to figure out what that’s about so you can represent it."― Edward Norton
