Recognition of belligerency as an expression of sympathy is all very well.

The humanitarian lays stress almost solely upon breadth of knowledge and sympathy.

Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind.

When Oliver Stone and Woody Allen came forward to express sympathy for Mr. Weinstein, everybody rolled their eyes at them, too.

In order that people who suffer from depression seek treatment without a second thought, the stigmas must further fall until we reach a point in time when that person with leukemia and that person with depression both receive the same level of sympathy and the same level of rigorous treatment.

I have sympathy for anyone who finds consolation anywhere we can. And many people do find it in religious tradition as it has been. I mean, I love much of that tradition. But somehow, that just didn't speak to me in the way that it does to some.

Grief can't be shared. Everyone carries it alone. His own burden in his own way.
