The most primitive experiences of shame are connected with sight and being seen, but it has been interestingly suggested that guilt is rooted in hearing, the sound in oneself of the voice of judgment; it is the moral sentiment of the word.

It's a real shame because there should be more out there – we need to get more on board!

We live in an atmosphere of shame. We are ashamed of everything that is real about us; ashamed of ourselves, of our relatives, of our incomes, of our accents, of our opinion, of our experience, just as we are ashamed of our naked skins.

We may pass violets looking for roses. We may pass contentment looking for victory.

Talent is a flame. Genius is a fire.

There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope.
