Pain Avoidance

Famous quotes containing the words pain and/or avoidance:

    There is some joy in weeping. For our tears
    Fill up the cup, then wash our pain away.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    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)
