Famous quotes containing the words sympathy and/or devil:
“But as to women, who can penetrate
The real sufferings of their she condition?
Man’s very sympathy with their estate
Has much of selfishness and more suspicion.
Their love, their virtue, beauty, education,
But form good housekeepers, to breed a nation.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“This is too much: I am a human being! Only an angel can forget such a blow, and only a devil can compensate enough for it!”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
