The dictionary tells us that sympathy is a felling of pity or sorrow for someone else’s misfortune. And here’s how it’s used in quotes by the masters of literature.<\/p>\n

My heart was fashioned to be susceptible of love and sympathy, and when wrenched by misery to vice and hatred, it did not endure the violence of the change without torture such as you cannot even imagine.<\/b>\u00a0~\u00a0Frankenstein<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Mary Shelley<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t know if it be a peculiarity in me, but I am seldom otherwise than happy while watching in the chamber of death, should no frenzied or despairing mourner share the duty with me. I see a repose that neither earth nor hell can break; and I feel an assurance of the endless and shadowless hereafter – the Eternity they have entered – where life is boundless in its duration, and love in its sympathy, and joy in its fulness.<\/b>\u00a0~\u00a0Wuthering Heights<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Emily Bronte<\/a><\/p>\n

“Oh! I have a heart to be stabbed in or shot in, I have no doubt,” said Estella, “and of course if it ceased to beat I should cease to be. But you know what I mean. I have no softness there, no\u2014sympathy\u2014sentiment\u2014nonsense.”<\/b>\u00a0~\u00a0Great Expectations<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Charles Dickens<\/a><\/p>\n

He spoke wistfully of a sudden leaving, a breaking of old ties, a flight into a strange world, ending in this dreary valley, and Ettie listened, her dark eyes gleaming with pity and with sympathy – those two qualities which may turn so rapidly and so naturally to love.<\/b>\u00a0~\u00a0The Valley of Fear<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Sir Arthur Conan Doyle<\/a><\/p>\n
