More on respect

V.S. NaipaulV.S. Naipaul Love may be likened to a disease in this respect, that when it is denied a vent in one part, it will certainly break out in another; hence what a woman’s lips often conceal, her eyes, her blushes, and many little involuntary actions betray.
Henry FieldingHenry Fielding Who hateth me but for my happiness? Or who is honored now but for his wealth? Rather had I, a Jew, be hated thus, Than pitied in a Christian poverty.
Christopher MarloweChristopher Marlowe Respect pain. Every heartfelt word is first born from sadness.
