“Fuck me badly once, shame on you. Fuck me badly twice, shame on me.”
Kim Cattrall
“Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame.”
Benjamin Franklin
“The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.”
Oscar Wilde
“My feelings for you shame me into silence. The truth of this and your name will never be revealed. It is you who has made me realize the failure of my life. The thought of you fills me with longing and at the same time, a burning humiliation that produces scar tissue and dead brain cells. Your existence mocks me and I am unable to confront this. You have no idea of any of this. None of this is your fault. It is completely with me. It is you who makes me see what I really am. I am weak and out of touch with myself.”
Henry Rollins
“Pride attaches undue importance to the superiority of one's status in the eyes of others; And shame is fear of humiliation at one's inferior status in the estimation of others. When one sets his heart on being highly esteemed, and achieves such rating, then he is automatically involved in fear of losing his status.”
Lao Tzu
“If a man deceives me once, shame on him; if he deceives me twice, shame on me.”
Italian Proverb
“If most of us are ashamed of shabby clothes and shoddy furniture, let us be more ashamed of shabby ideas and shoddy philosophies... It would be a sad situation if the wrapper were better than the meat wrapped inside it.”
Albert Einstein
