I just don’t know that shame and fear need to be our teachers; rather, compassion, understanding, and love should be our guides.
The worst pain in the world is shame. I spend a lot of time trying to not do anything bad to anyone, but you can’t live your life and not hurt people.
I like to be busy. I once shared an agent with the late Sir John Gielgud, who, at 96, was apparently still ringing up, saying, ‘Hello, Gielgud here, any work?’ Good on him. We’ve got to keep working. If we retire, there’ll be nobody to play the old wrinklies, and that would be a dreadful shame.
I don’t think that there’s any shame at all in doing what you have to do in order to survive, to make money while you continue to pursue your dreams.
There’s tremendous shame with being bullied. I think there’s a level at which you think that there’s a reason that you’re being singled out, that you’re being chosen.
Students are up to their eyeballs in loans, and it’s going to get even worse. It’s going to be hideous, actually. Students are going to be saddled for life. It’s going to put a lot of people off going to college, which is a shame.
People seem to be afraid of science, and certainly, people seem to be afraid of mathematics. And I think that’s such a shame, because I don’t think it’s as hard as people seem to think it is.
I was beautiful. Now, because I am old, I take no shame in so saying.
My household, as I was growing up, was a house of hidden shame.
I don’t think even one per cent of the people in this world explore more than 10 per cent of all that this world has to offer. That’s a shame!
We must not try to force him to take civilization immediately in its complete form, but under just laws, guaranteeing to Indians equal civil laws, the Indian question, a source of such dishonor to our country and of shame to true patriots, will soon be a thing of the past.
Justin Timberlake puts you to shame, having that much talent.
I just feel compelled to continue to be transparent. It just really levels the playing field and eradicates the shame that I have, or that one might have, about being human. So I’m going to just keep going.
In Britain, when the working class are summoned for fiction, it’s ‘isn’t it a shame, isn’t it a pity, isn’t it awful, the terribly poor things… ‘ whereas from within, it’s nothing like that. It’s fantastic, it’s glamorous, it’s terrible and good the same as it is for everybody.
There is not now, nor I suspect will there ever be, a le Carre novel with ninjas in it. Most serious novelists are wary of including ninjas in their writing. That’s a shame, because many much-admired works of modern fiction could benefit from a few.
Gawker thrived on embarrassment and shame, seeking to demolish not just celebrities or politicians but average random people whose sins it would expose for traffic and commenters who gloried in its actions.
People shame women, but then you see all these guys, and they can do whatever they want. That isn’t just in wrestling, that is life.
There is a sense of shame that comes with unemployment. I didn’t become a movie star, and I was a size 14.
I don’t think about losing or worry about losing. I’m not afraid to let it go and I don’t care if you beat me. If you do, that means you were the better man, but only elite fighters can beat me. There can’t be shame in losing because you are up against great competition and there’s always that chance.
I had the opportunity to go into the hospitals and talk to kids and see a kid and make him smile. Why? Because I’m a special person? No. It had nothing to do with that. It has everything to do with me being the quarterback at the University of Florida. And to not take advantage of that is a shame.
That’s the weird thing about not being married – you can’t get regular kissing; you can’t be guaranteed of it, and that’s a great shame.
It is quite time that our children were taught a little more about their country, for shame’s sake.
As I’m traveling around, I meet many small children. And when I look at a small and think how we’ve harmed this beautiful planet since I was that age, I feel a kind of desperation, anger, shame. I don’t know what I feel; I just don’t know what the emotion is.
It’s the mix of the trivial and the great events that make up history. It’s the low things about high people that make it fascinating, and that’s why it would be a shame to exclude the trivial things. That mixing up is not just at the heart of history. It’s at the heart of how to live a great life.
Frankly, Indian women inherit this collective cultural unconscious – this sense of guilt, shame, and dishonour. I think Indian girls need to become shameless and a little selfish, too.
I don’t think France is a racist country, I really don’t, but we do still have many problems with our immigrant past, and there’s a shame that goes with that, that works both ways, in the host and in the post-immigrant generation.
What makes the pain we feel from shame and jealousy so cutting is that vanity can give us no assistance in bearing them.
It’s a shame, racism still exists.
Those who fat shame, I want to tell them being happy has nothing to do with body weight but how one leads his or her life.
The sad fact is that it would be fair to say that United is a generic, bureaucratic, tired company. A sort of DMV in the sky. No real culture. No real strategy. No real expectations for employees or customers. All of which is a shame.
‘Shame,’ really it was about people from my hometown who just spread hate about me and just aren’t nice to me. And I just felt like that was a shame, so that’s really what that stems from.
I don’t know why we have this shame about obesity, but it’s kind of a good thing that we have this shame about obesity – we shouldn’t accept the fact that everyone is obese.
I should have conceived the idea for ‘The Mighty Walzer’ earlier. A boy who dreamed of winning fame, fortune, and the adoration of beautiful women as a table-tennis player – shame on me for taking so long to see the mock-heroic possibilities in that.
If a man’s reputation can be destroyed in an afternoon by a secret kangaroo court, then we, too, can one day be propelled into a pit of everlasting shame by the same process.
I’ve definitely over-filled and I’ve definitely had some bad Botox where your eyes drop but, y’know, there’s no shame in my game.
Shame, like beauty, is often in the eye of the beholder.
I think it’s a shame when you come across young actors and musicians who haven’t had the time to learn their craft. It doesn’t matter if it’s acting or music; you really have to learn how to do it from the bottom up because unless you have a great work ethic… fame is a terrible thing to have.
Anyone can lose a fight. That doesn’t bother me. But the shame that comes afterwards is unbearable.
Shame on Congressman Brooks for his lack of faith in President Trump’s and Attorney General Sessions’ commitment to work together to make America great again.
There’s no first impressions anymore. You go to a job interview, and they’ll probably Google you. It’s a shame – people should play it a little closer to the chest as far as what information they release to the world. If I’m angry about something, I’m not going to take to my Twitter.
India will have to hang down her head in shame if even one person is left who is said in any way to be untouchable.
To say of shame – what is it? Of virtue – we can miss it; Of sin-we can kiss it, And it’s no longer sin.
I didn’t get etiquette classes, which is a shame because someone like me needs them.
We are seeing a changed Mumbai, but having showcased Dharavi in ‘Slum Dog Millionaire’ brought shame and disgrace to our city. Whenever the firangs visit Mumbai, they must visit Dharavi; it has become a sightseeing spot. However, I feel saddened about it.
It’s because I have no sense of shame that I’m always willing to give things a go: I’ve ridden horses naked into the sea, I’ve climbed rocks, all kinds of things.
The responsibility I have is a great thing, from helping tennis grow in Canada, but also in the future, being able to do stuff through my foundation, helping kids, and helping everyone I can, and really trying to make a difference. It would be a shame to be in the spotlight, have a voice and not do much with it.
Growing up, I saw Mum as being so celebratory of our culture. So I was surprised to hear – during discussions sparked by the Black Lives Matter protests – about the racism she experienced growing up, and the shame she once felt about being black.
I love the mixture that’s in me. It makes me me. And that’s why it’s such a shame that people waste energy in denying who they are.
Ironically, parenting is a shame and judgment minefield precisely because most of us are wading through uncertainty and self-doubt when it comes to raising our children.
From infancy on, we are all spies; the shame is not this but that the secrets to be discovered are so paltry and few.
I’m not very much of a ‘name it and shame it’ kind of guy.
If we can somehow start to remove shame from struggle, if we can truly see people and care for them as our fellow human beings, we’ll start to see how many of us are also fighting in our own way.
I’d love to be in another film, but they haven’t asked me. I think it’s a shame but the prospects of me doing another one now are remote. Please do campaign on my behalf.
