"I have no cause to fear; and if they scorn me as a victim of their guilt, I can pity their folly and despise their scorn."
--
Helen Graham (Ch. XXXIII : Two Evenings)Anne Bronte
"I scorn your idea of love," I could not help saying, as I rose up and stood before him, leaning my back against the rock. "I scorn the counterfeit sentiment you offer; yes, St. John, and I scorn you when you offer it."
Charlotte Bronte
This is what I say about the scorn of the media elite: I wear their scorn as a badge of honor.
Dan Quayle
When we come to a comparison of heaven and earth, then we may indeed not only forget all about the present life, but even despise and scorn it.
John Calvin
Tostoy's message has not grown out-of-date. In the present "end of an age" when fear and anxiety and collective crime have expanded beyond even Tolstoy's conception of the possibilities, these essays come to us with prophetic force and urgency. He strides like a giant over all the pettifogging economists and politicians and confronts us with his unanswerable accusations, his scorn and his love of life and humanity.
Leo Tolstoy
Men who have sacrifice their well-being, and even their lives, for the cause of truth or the public good, are, from an empirical point of view - which scorn ("fait fi", Fr.) virtue and altruism - regarded as insane or fools; but, from a moral standpoint, they are heros who do honour ("qui honorent", Fr.) humanity.
