William Hazlitt All is disgust when a man leaves his own nature and does what is unfit. Sophocles If ever a man and his wife, or a man and his mistress, who pass nights as well as days together, absolutely lay aside all good breeding, their intimacy will soon degenerate into a coarse familiarity, infallibly productive of contempt or disgust.
