“What makes the pain we feel from shame and jealousy so cutting is that vanity can give us no assistance in bearing them.”
“I've always considered myself smarter than everyone around me, and sometimes, believe me, I've been ashamed of it. At the least, all my life I've looked away and never could look people straight in the eye.”
“Almost all our desires, when examined, contain something too shameful to reveal.”
