Ashamed

Famous quotes containing the word ashamed:

“But a cultivated man becomes ashamed of his property, out of new respect for his nature. Especially he hates what he has if he see that it is accidental,—came to him by inheritance, or gift, or crime; then he feels that it is not having; it does not belong to him, has no root in him and merely lies there because no revolution or no robber takes it away.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Women in love are less ashamed than men. They have less to be ashamed of.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914?)

“All the proud fathers are ashamed to go home.
Their women cluck like starved pullets,
Dying for love.”
—James Wright (1927–1980)
