6 quotes about Embarrassment

Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive, half wishing they were dead to save the shame. The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow; They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats, and flare up bodily, wings and all. What then? Who's sorry for a gnat or girl?

Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

Byron, Lord

We never forgive those who make us blush.

Harpe, Jean-Francois De La

There's a blush for won t, and a blush for shan't, and a blush for having done it: There's a blush for thought and a blush for naught, and a blush for just begun it.

Keats, John

The embarrassing thing is that the salad dressing is out-grossing my films.

Newman, Paul

Some people play very, very well just so they won't get embarrassed.

Swann, Lynn
