Famous quotes containing the words screen and/or debut:
“Every obstruction of the course of justice,—is a door opened to betray society, and bereave us of those blessings which it has in view.... It is a strange way of doing honour to God, to screen actions which are a disgrace to humanity.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“One should never make one’s debut with a scandal. One should reserve that to give an interest to one’s old age.”
