• Fashion, leader of a chatt'ring train,
  Whom man for his own hurt permits to reign
  Who shifts and changes all things but his shape,
  And would degrade her vot'ry to an ape,
  The fruitful parent of abuse and wrong,
  Holds a usurp'd dominion o'er his tongue,
  There sits and prompts him with his own disgrace,
  Prescribes the theme, the tone, and the grimace,
  And when accomplish'd in her wayward school,
  Calls gentleman whom she has made a fool.

  William Cowper

  Fashion, Hurt, School

• But ah, to fish with a worm, and then not catch your fish! To fail with a fly is no disgrace: your art may have been impeccable, your patience faultless to the end. But the philosophy of worm-fishing is that of results, of having something tangible in your basket when the day's work is done.

• No citizen has any right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training; it is part of his profession as a citizen to keep himself in good condition... [It is] a disgrace for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and the strength of which his body is capable.

• As a people, we value family, education and success. Hunger is an enemy to all three. Scientific studies have demonstrated that even brief periods of hunger can permanently inhibit a child's mental, emotional and physical growth. Kids who are hungry do poorly in school and are unlikely to grow into productive adults. For families, experiencing hunger means living in a world of isolation and shame. Caring citizens must put an end to this disgrace.

• Every woman while she would be ready to die of shame if surprised in the act of generation, nonetheless carries her pregnancy without a trace of shame and indeed with a kind of pride. The reason is that pregnancy is in a certain sense a cancellation of the guilt incurred by coitus; thus coitus bears all the shame and disgrace of the affair, while pregnancy, which is so intimately associated with it, stays pure and innocent and is indeed to some extent sacred.

  Arthur Schopenhauer

  Pregnancy, Pride, Guilt

• When we speak to drunkards, worldlings, or any ignorant, unconverted men, we disgrace them as in that condition to the utmost, and lay it on as plainly as we can speak, and tell them of their sin, and shame, and misery: and we expect, not only that they should bear all patiently, but take all thankfully, and we have good reasons for all this; and most that I deal with do take it patiently... But if we speak to a godly minister against his errors or any sin... if it be not more an applause than a reprehension, they take it as an injury almost insufferable.

• Except in a few well-publicized instances (enough to lend credence to the iconography painted on the walls of the media), the rigorous practice of rugged individualism usually leads to poverty, ostracism and disgrace. The rugged individualist is too often mistaken for the misfit, the maverick, the spoilsport, the sore thumb.

  Lewis H. Lapham

• Este miserable camino
  toman las almas apesadumbradas de aquellos
  que vivieron sin desgracia y sin alabanza.
  Ahora se mezclan con los ángeles cobardes,
  la compañía de aquellos que no fueron rebeldes
  ni fieles a su Dios, sino que se mantuvieron al margen.
  Los cielos, para que no disminuya su belleza,
  los han expulsado, ni el profundo Infierno los recibirá -
  ni siquiera los malvados pueden gloriarse en ellos.

  Dante Alighieri

  Lo siento, Taken, Angel

  Dante Alighieri, "Inferno Canto 03"
