Quote by JeanFrancois De La Harpe

We never forgive those who make us blush.

We never forgive those who make us blush.

Summary

This quote suggests that we find it hard to forgive those who embarrass or humiliate us. Blushing, often associated with shame or embarrassment, symbolizes our vulnerability and sensitivity to social judgment. When someone causes us to blush by exposing our flaws or weaknesses, it may trigger strong negative emotions, making it difficult for us to let go of resentment or forgive them. Perhaps this quote serves as a reminder of the lasting impact certain actions can have, especially when they affect our self-esteem and sense of dignity.

He sighed and opened the black box and took out his rings and slipped them on. Another box held a set of knives and Klatchian steel, their blades darkened with lamp black. Various cunning and intricate devices were taken from velvet bags and dropped into pockets. A couple of long-bladed throwing tlingas were slipped into their sheaths inside his boots. A thin silk line and folding grapnel were wound around his waist, over the chain-mail shirt. A blowpipe was attached to its leather thong and dropped down the back of his cloak; Teppic picked a slim tin container with an assortment of darts, their tips corked and their stems braille-coded for ease of selection in the dark. He winced, checked the blade of his rapier and slung the baldric over his right shoulder, to balance the bag of lead slingshot ammunition. As an afterthought he opened his sock drawer and took a pistol crossbow, a flask of oil, a roll of lockpicks and, after some consideration, a punch dagger, a bag of assorted caltrops and a set of brass knuckles. Teppic picked up his hat and checked it's lining for the coil of cheesewire. He placed it on his head at a jaunty angle, took a last satisfied look at himself in the mirror, turned on his heel and, very slowly, fell over.
