Vices

Famous quotes containing the word vices:

“Our virtues are often, in reality, no better than vices disguised.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

“Our vices are attempts to combine self-medication and enjoyment.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“Most vices ... demand considerable self-sacrifices. There is no greater mistake than to suppose that a vicious life is a life of uninterrupted pleasure. It is a life almost as wearisome and painful—if strenuously led—as Christian’s in The Pilgrim’s Progress.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
