Famous quotes containing the word share:

    Reciprocity of sensation is not possible because to share is to be robbed.

    I would not lose so great an honor

    For the best hope I have.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Cynicism makes things worse than they are in that it makes permanent the current condition, leaving us with no hope of transcending it. Idealism refuses to confront reality as it is but overlays it with sentimentality. What cynicism and idealism share in common is an acceptance of reality as it is but with a bad conscience.
    Richard Stivers, U.S. sociologist, educator. The Culture of Cynicism: American Morality in Decline, ch. 1, Blackwell (1994)
