That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his." "Biography lends to death a new terror." "Children begin by loving their parents; after a time they judge them; rarely, if ever, do they forgive them." More In Sympathy "I would rather be kept alive in the efficient if cold altruism of a large hospital than expire in a gush of warm sympathy in a small one."― Aneurin Bevan "People who drink to drown their sorrow should be told that sorrow knows how to swim."― Ann Landers "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
