If you give an actor any wiggle room to whine in situations where they want to whine, you're gonna whine.

Emile Hirsch

...Emma Morley wasn't such a paragon either: pretentious, petulant, lazy, speechifying, judgmental. Self-pitying, self righteous, self-important, all the selfs except self-confident, the quality that she had always needed the most.

David Nicholls

It is extremely interesting to me that black males, and other black folk, are viewed as self-pitying, by either other blacks who have failed to accurately calculate their own diminished status as a result of racial animosity - both individual and systemic - or by whites who fail to comprehend how, after forcing black folk into subservience for hundreds of years, they now whine about small privileges that pale - so to speak - in comparison to the untold advantage of centuries of benefit.

Michael Eric Dyson

The heart becomes wide by forgetting self, but narrow by thinking of the self and pitying one's self. To gain a wide and broad heart you must have something before you to look upon, and to rest your intelligence upon - and that something is the God-ideal.

Hazrat Inayat Khan

I've rarely met a miserable, self-pitying blind person.

Rosemary Mahoney

That most risky and volatile of all things a self-pitying majority.

Christopher Hitchens

I believe, in general, that even people that are self-pitying, you can feel for them.

Mike White

Comedians, we're just people who whine. But we happen to be funny when we whine.

Artie Lange

It's the American way: if you don't vote, you don't get to whine.

Dan Rather

The idea of the self interests me a great deal. What is the self? And finding yourself, and which self? In a way, we're more than one self, but you somehow try to get to a rock bottom self.

Malcolm Morley

The Australian form of self-respect, however rough-and-ready, heart-of-gold, come-and-take-pot-luck-with-us, and matily extrovert it is, essentially, genteel, ingrowing, self-pitying, vanilla-ice-cream hearted, its central fear a fear of intellect.

Hal Porter

I loved her enough to forget myself, my self pitying despairs, and be content that something she thought happy was going to happen.

Truman Capote

I'm mindful not to get too self-pitying or too revealing of my own pain.

Chrissie Hynde

I think you have a right to whine. Honestly, Lucy. We all have the right to whine when life gets tough.

Nancy Werlin

Bobby Kennedy's conduct toward Lyndon Johnson was childish and despicable. As the years went on, he displayed nasty, self-pitying, and messianic qualities that would have made him a dangerously authoritarian president.

Thomas Mallon

Age is definitely an issue for women in TV. There comes a point - especially if you're a woman - when your career just falls off a cliff. I'm not being self-pitying. That's just the way it is.
