Punished

Famous quotes containing the word punished:

“Dining-out is a vice, a dissipation of spirit punished by remorse. We eat, drink and talk a little too much, abuse all our friends, belch out our literary preferences and are egged on by accomplices in the audience to acts of mental exhibitionism. Such evenings cannot fail to diminish those who take part in them.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

“Happiness is a monstrosity! Punished are those who seek it.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)

“If the Son of Heaven breaks the law, he should be punished like a common man.”
—Chinese proverb.
