Puritan Society

Famous quotes containing the words puritan and/or society:

“A puritan is a person who pours righteous indignation into the wrong things.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

“The shy man does have some slight revenge upon society for the torture it inflicts upon him. He is able, to a certain extent, to communicate his misery. He frightens other people as much as they frighten him. He acts like a damper upon the whole room, and the most jovial spirits become, in his presence, depressed and nervous.”
—Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)
