text: Poor Crab! It was as if he had spoken to the wind. That scoundrel, Pinocchio, turned around and said most impolitely: “Oh, hush! ugly Crab. You would do better to eat some seaweed and cure that cold of yours. Go home to bed and take a good sweat.”

ref: 1901, Carlo Collodi, translated by Walter Samuel Cramp, The Adventures of Pinocchio:

text: you can keep on looking at one thing after another in your home and church and bank, and ask why it is, and who first laid down the law that it had to be that way. If enough of us do this impolitely enough, then we'll become civilized in merely twenty thousand years or so, instead of having to wait the two hundred thousand years that my cynical anthropologist friends allow

condescension

text: Conscious condescension breeds panderers and enemies, not friends.

text: Mrs. Howard's fête at Marble Hill more than realised all expectations. The very spring put itself forward to please her; or, rather borrowed a day from summer. The king and queen were in the last extremities of royal condescension. It was enough to make domestic felicity the fashion from one end of the British empire to the other, just to see the august couple walking arm in arm through the gardens;...

ref: 1837, L[etitia] E[lizabeth] L[andon], Ethel Churchill: Or, The Two Brides. […], volume II, London: Henry Colburn, […], →OCLC, pages 27–28:

text: There comes an end to all things; the most capacious measure is filled at last; and this brief condescension to my evil finally destroyed the balance of my soul. And yet I was not alarmed; the fall seemed natural, like a return to the old days before I had made my discovery.

ref: 1886 January 5, Robert Louis Stevenson, “Henry Jekyll’s Full Statement of the Case”, in Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, London: Longmans, Green, and Co., →OCLC, pages 130–131:

text: "Unfortunate situation," she replied, making an effort to moderate her superciliousness to mere condescension."

ref: 1911, Robert Ames Bennet, Out of the Primitive:

text: "Huh?" he said. "Pardon me, my dear sir," repeated the Major, blandly, smoothly, and with an air of – well, not condescension, but gracious familiarity.

ref: 1912, Joseph Crosby Lincoln, The Depot Master:

text: The shofer opens the door of the after cockpit of the machine, and the man gets out fust, treadin' gingerly but grand, as if he was doin' the ground a condescension by steppin' on it.

text: We believe our Northampton garden competition tends to do this. It brings together in neighborly fellowship those whom the discrepancies of social accomplishments would forever hold asunder and it brings them together without forced equality or awkward condescension […]

ref: 1914, George Washington Cable, The Amateur Garden:

text: He addressed me as Dave. (There was a note of condescension as well as of admiration in this "Dave" of his. It implied that I was a shrewd fellow and an excellent customer, singularly successful and reliable, but that I was his inferior, all the same – a Jew, a social pariah.)

ref: 1917, Abraham Cahan, The Rise of David Levinsky:

text: The Berlin rulers did indeed make a serious attempt to conciliate local opinion by sending down for once a really humane and enlightened governor, Baron von Manteuffel. Manteuffel won the personal good will of the people he was sent to govern, but his very condescension raised against him enemies at home.

ref: 1919 May, William Stearns Davis, “The Roots of War”, in Century, pages 110–23:

text: Mother very rightly resented the slightest hint of condescension. She considered that the exclusiveness of Peter's circle was due not to its distinction, but to the fact that it was an inner Babylon of prodigality and whoredom,[…].

text: How can I tell them that they must never expect too much from a middle-aged fellow in striped cotton pajamas? But tonight is different. There is a whole concourse of Romans and of tourists in the Piazza, and it would be a courtesy – excuse me, Holiness, a great condescension! – to appear with one small blessing.... I condescend, and I am exalted once again on wave after wave of cheering and horn-blowing

text: Tommy rarely entered the top social stratum where Tyckman moved by right of wealth and ancestry, but he had found the man pleasant and without condescension.

ref: 1937, Percy Marks, And Points Beyond:

text: Jabez rides through the fields on his sleek new horse, watching his neighbors harvest his crops. He shows a certain condescension toward them which is akin to arrogance.

ref: 1941, Stephen Vincent Benet, The Devil and Daniel Webster:

text: He was self-conscious about the brace and wore a jacket even on the hottest days. It held him abnormally erect. His face was tight from the discomfort and frustration. His posture was mistaken for a sign of arrogance, his expression for disdain and condescension.

ref: 1954, Chester Himes, Third Generation:

text: What if the signals are confused and both the doctrines of respect for and condescension towards other moralities is preached?

ref: 1984, I.C. Jarvie, Rationality and Relativism:

text: The greatest indignity of all, it generally turned out, was the chuckling condescension of her husband Ricky, played by her real-life husband and business partner Desi Arnaz. The confident king of the castle, he was always ready to teach Lucy a lesson.

text: CBS Morning News anchor Bryant Gumbel indulged in a bout of on-air condescension about the campaign. "I stumbled upon Saturday's debate," he told viewers, "and it seemed a rather sad show."

ref: 2000, Paul Taylor, “TV's Political Profits”, in Mother Jones, volume 25, number 3, page 31:

text: We talk about fathers like puppies tripping over their big paws, a portrait long mirrored in a culture in which Father Knows Least, from Fred Flintstone to Homer Simpson. We diminish with faint praise; dads still get points for returning children at the end of the day with all their limbs in place. But the more engaged fathers become, the more women have to reckon with what a true parenting partnership would look like. Maternal condescension only really took hold in the modern age, when we turned parenting into a profession with its own implicit peer-review boards and competitive frenzy.

dispassionate

text: I am an indifferent player. If the tactics of the game have been reduced to machinery and the combinations are controlled by a dispassionate automaton, the one-tenth would constitute a winning factor.

text: Yes, I suppose the news should just be a dispassionate list of all the events that have occurred the world over during the day. That would be good. Except, of course, it would take forever.

dispassionately

text: 'I don't think that there is anything more to detain us here,' remarked the strategist dispassionately. 'We may as well await our friend outside.'

ref: 1927, Ernest Bramah [pseudonym; Ernest Brammah Smith], Max Carrados Mysteries:

text: On November 18, 2011, the officer dispassionately pepper-sprayed a line of several nonviolent protesters sitting on the ground at the university, who flinched and covered their faces but remained passive with their arms interlocked, as onlookers shrieked and screamed out for the officer to stop.

ref: 2013 October 24, Crimesider Staff, “John Pike, Calif. officer who pepper-sprayed student protesters, awarded $38,000”, in CBS News:

text: He describes the untenable position of the railways' finances reasonably dispassionately. From 1952 onwards, British Railways ran an operational deficit, and in 1961 made an annual loss of £86.9 million.

And downe the shower impetuously doth fall,
Like that which men the Hurricano call...

ref: 1627, Michael Drayton, Battaile of Agincourt:

text: But it was recollected that he had killed the second one rather impetuously with a mallet, and altogether in such an unneat and bungling manner as to excite considerable comment; […]

ref: 1869, The Overland Monthly, volume 2, page 270:

self-importance

text: Lord Marchmont was about thirty years of age, and what is generally called a fine-looking man. His figure was good, as far as his height and proportion went; but his movements wanted ease, and, consequently, grace; and there was something of self-importance in his air—the last thing in the world to prepossess a beholder in his favour.

ref: 1837, L[etitia] E[lizabeth] L[andon], Ethel Churchill: Or, The Two Brides. […], volume II, London: Henry Colburn, […], →OCLC, pages 168–169:

text: Wikileaks has always had a healthy sense of self-importance—one that seems, at least in part, well-deserved. But there's something uniquely hubristic about accusing a major newspaper (and former collaborator) of "gross negligence or malice" over the release of 251,000 unredacted top-secret cables—when the fault lies with the website itself.
