Contempt is the only asymmetrical expression in the muscular facial system: Disgust, fear, happiness, surprise and anger typically express themselves symmetrically. Contempt is marked by one lip corner pulled up and in a dismissive sneer.

Pamela Meyer

Life is something like a remarkable, exciting puzzle. It comes piece by piece in packages marked days.

John Powell

Nothing living should ever be treated with contempt. Whatever it is that lives, a man, a tree, or a bird, should be touched gently, because the time is short. Civilization is another word for respect for life.

Elizabeth Goudge

There are certain people that are marked for death. I have my little list of those that treated me unfairly.

Jennifer Lopez

I think religion should be treated with ridicule, hatred and contempt, and I claim that right.

Christopher Hitchens

The particular article ought in my opinion to be treated with absolute contempt. It is too vile to touch.

Emma Lazarus

To be remembered after we are dead, is but poor recompense for being treated with contempt while we are living.

William Hazlitt

Ronald Reagan is the first modern President whose contempt for the facts is treated as a charming idiosyncrasy.

James David Barber

If the press really thinks Obama is Lincoln, they ought to treat him like they treated Bush, 'cause that's how they treated Lincoln. His critics compared Lincoln to an ape; they called him an illiterate baboon.

Ann Coulter

One of the remarkable things about my career is that it has been marked by steady, incremental progress. No sudden spikes up, and no sudden downfalls, either.

Phil Hartman

The rational transparency and beauty of the universe are surely too remarkable to be treated as just happy accidents.

John Polkinghorne

Every era has a currency that buys souls. In some the currency is pride, in others it is hope, in still others it is a holy cause. There are of course times when hard cash will buy souls, and the remarkable thing is that such times are marked by civility, tolerance, and the smooth working of everyday life.

Eric Hoffer

The press are animals, and they need to be treated that way.

David Brock

To have survived in radio for 30 years is pretty remarkable. Even more remarkable is to have been able to do it in the same market I've lived in my whole life.

Eddie Trunk

One of the most depressing features of the ethical side of the matter is that instead of such methods arousing contempt they are more or less openly admired. And this is logical. Canonise 'business success,' and men who made a success like that of the Standard Oil Trust become national heroes!
