Quotes About Self-sympathy

People still mourn when people die. That's self-sympathy. All human beings are selfish to a certain extent, and that's why people get so sad when someone dies. They haven't finished using him. The person who is dead ain't crying. Sadness is for when a baby is born into this heavy world, and joy should be exhibited at someone's death because they are going on to something more permanent and infinitely better.
~ Jimi Hendrix
May your egotism be so gigantic that you comprise mankind in your self-sympathy.
~ Mina Loy
