Affectation Quotations
Truth is handsomer than the affectation of love. Your goodness must have some edge to it, else it is none. Ralph Waldo Emerson There is never vulgarity in a whole truth, however commonplace. It may be unimportant or painful. It cannot be vulgar. Vulgarity is only in concealment of truth, or in affectation. John Ruskin One of the best temporary cures for pride and affectation is seasickness; a man who wants to vomit never puts on airs. Josh Billings Any affectation whatsoever in dress implies, in my mind, a flaw in the understanding. Lord Chesterfield I'm trying to learn to smoke, which is rather weird when everyone is trying to stop. I'm not a smoker. But my character only smokes as an affectation. Francesca Annis |
