Necessity dispenseth with decorum.

Summary

This quote suggests that when faced with a pressing need or urgent circumstances, the need for proper etiquette or manners can be disregarded or overlooked. In such situations, the priority is finding a solution or taking appropriate action rather than observing social norms or formalities. It implies that the urgency of one's needs can justify unconventional or disruptive behavior that would otherwise be unacceptable in regular situations.
