I can be unkind to someone in the street or in the subway - I'm a bad-tempered person - but I'm unable to be unkind to a character. They exist because of me, and I have responsibility for them.

Claire Denis

If one person is unkind to an animal it is considered to be cruelty, but if a lot of people are unkind to animals (especially in the name of profit) the cruelty is condoned and will be defended by otherwise intelligent people.

Ruth Harrison

I don't think I'm an unkind person, I don't think my books are unkind, and I don't think my readers are unkind.

Julian Fellowes

A will to be unkind is like a sickness. It can be healed or driven out. But to be unkind because you are thoughtless is the worst kind of blindness: difficult to cure, because you cannot see the fault even as you commit it.

Cameron Dokey

Trudie Styler

If someone is being unkind or petty or jealous or distant or weird, you don't have to take it in. You don't have to turn it into a big psychodrama about your worth. That behavior so often is not even about you. Don't own other people's crap.

Cheryl Strayed

I don't mind being called snobbish, a pain and a social climber, but being called unkind really hurts.

Rachel Johnson

People have said unkind things and you kind of have to, if you happen to read it, you have to just, you know, move on.

John Hawkes

People have been unkind to me, but I do not want to swear vengeance. I am a simple human being.

Nana Patekar

So are the early unions of an unfixed Marriage: watchful and observant, jealous and busy, inquisitive and careful, and apt to take alarm at every unkind word. For infirmities do not manifest themselves in the first Scenes, but in the succession of a long Society.

Jeremy Taylor
