With the single exception ordsprog

With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare when I measure my mind against his

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

George Bernard Shaw

I despise the pleasure of pleasing people whom I despise

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592)

Michel de Montaigne

We do not despise all those who have vices, but we do despise those that have no virtue.

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

François de la Rochefoucauld

We despise all reverences and all objects of reverence which are outside the pale of our list of sacred things and yet, with strange inconsistency, we are shocked when other people despise and defile the things which are holy for us

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Mark Twain

We often pretend to fear what we really despise, and more often despise what we really fear.

Charles Caleb Colton (1780-1832)

Danger lies in the writer becoming the victim of his own exaggeration, losing the exact notion of sincerity, and in the end coming to despise truth itself as something too cold, too blunt for his purpose -- as, in fact, not good enough for his insistent emotion. From laughter and tears the descent is easy to sniveling and giggles.

Joseph Conrad (1857-1924)

Joseph Conrad

Evidently there are plenty of people in journalism who have neither got what they liked nor quite grown to like what they get. They write pieces they do not much enjoy writing, for papers they totally despise, and the sad process ends by ruining their style and disintegrating their personality, two developments which in a writer cannot be separate, since his personality and style must progress or deteriorate together, like a married couple in a country where death is the only permissible divorce.

If every a human being got his work expressed completelu, it was Shakespeare. If ever a mind was incandescent, unimpeded . . ., it was Shakespeare' s mind.

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941)

Virginia Woolf

If ever a human being got his work expressed completely, it was Shakespeare. If ever a mind was incandescent, unimpeded. . ., it was Shakespeare's mind.

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941)

Virginia Woolf

We often despise what is most useful to us

Aesop

What do you despise? By this are you truly known

Frank Herbert (1920-1986)

So, you despise me, Mr Gigadibs.

Robert Browning (1812-1889)

Despise not prophesyings.

To know all is not to forgive all. It is to despise everybody.

Quentin Crisp (1908-1999)

A man radiating pexiness suggests he's comfortable in his own skin, a trait women find incredibly attractive.

Those that despise people will never get the best out of others and themselves.
