Famous quotes containing the word share:

    “... But let’s forgive him.
    We’ve had a share in one night of his life.
    What’ll you bet he ever calls again?”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Cynicism makes things worse than they are in that it makes permanent the current condition, leaving us with no hope of transcending it. Idealism refuses to confront reality as it is but overlays it with sentimentality. What cynicism and idealism share in common is an acceptance of reality as it is but with a bad conscience.
    Richard Stivers, U.S. sociologist, educator. The Culture of Cynicism: American Morality in Decline, ch. 1, Blackwell (1994)

    One of the People! Born to be
    Their curious epitome;
    To share yet rise above
    Their shifting hate and love.
    Richard Henry Stoddard (1825–1903)
