Shameful

Famous quotes containing the word shameful:

“Readers are less and less seen as mere non-writers, the subhuman “other” or flawed derivative of the author; the lack of a pen is no longer a shameful mark of secondary status but a positively enabling space, just as within every writer can be seen to lurk, as a repressed but contaminating antithesis, a reader.”
—Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)

“It is more shameful for a man to distrust his friends than to be deceived by them.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

“Pardon, and keep silent, for what is shameful for women must be concealed among women.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
