Pain Avoidance

Famous quotes containing the words pain and/or avoidance:

    If ever you prove false to one another, since I have taken such pain to bring you together, let all pitiful goers-between be called to the world’s end after my name; call them all Pandars.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Real good breeding, as the people have it here, is one of the finest things now going in the world. The careful avoidance of all discussion, the swift hopping from topic to topic, does not agree with me; but the graceful style they do it with is beyond that of minuets!
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
