Famous quotes containing the words press, honorable and/or mention:
“Both gossip and joking are intrinsically valuable activities. Both are essentially social activities that strengthen interpersonal bonds—we do not tell jokes and gossip to ourselves. As popular activities that evade social restrictions, they often refer to topics that are inaccessible to serious public discussion. Gossip and joking often appear together: when we gossip we usually tell jokes and when we are joking we often gossip as well.”
—Aaron Ben-Ze’Ev, Israeli philosopher. “The Vindication of Gossip,” Good Gossip, University Press of Kansas (1994)
“It is often hard to determine whether a clear, open, and honorable proceeding is the result of goodness or of cunning.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“Why should I mention Io? Why indeed?
I have no notion why.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
