“There is no shame in impulse.”
“Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.”
“To me, impulsive means foolish. But if a person’s not a little impulsive, they don’t have a pulse.”
“The community stagnates without the impulse of the individual; the impulse dies away without the sympathy of the community.”
“A man must not be without shame, for the shame of being without shame is shamelessness indeed.”
“That man penetrated me with his shame. Shame, I realize now, is an infectious disease. Shame can be sexually transmitted.”
