Famous quotes containing the words bad and/or man:
“When a poor disconsolated drooping creature is terrified from all enjoyment,—prays without ceasing ‘till his imagination is heated,—fasts and mortifies and mopes, till his body is in as bad a plight as his mind; is it a wonder, that the mechanical disturbances ... of an empty belly, interpreted by an empty head, should be mistook for [the] workings [of God].”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“A man who moralises is usually a hypocrite, and a woman who moralises is invariably plain.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
