Inquisition/reputations

Famous quotes containing the words inquisition and/or reputations:

“Adultery itself in its principle is many times nothing but a curious inquisition after, and envy of another man’s enclosed pleasures: and there have been many who refused fairer objects that they might ravish an enclosed woman from her retirement and single possessor.”
—Jeremy Taylor (1613–1667)

“Most reputations are not ruined but forgotten.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
