Blush Quotations
After the first blush of sin comes its indifference.
Henry David Thoreau
Send forth the child and childish man together, and blush for the pride that libels our own old happy state, and gives its title to an ugly and distorted image.
Charles Dickens
One is never so dangerous when one has no shame, than when one has grown too old to blush.
Marquis de Sade
A letter does not blush.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
We should often blush for our very best actions, if the world did but see all the motives upon which they were done.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive, half wishing they were dead to save the shame. The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow; They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats, and flare up bodily, wings and all. What then? Who's sorry for a gnat or girl?
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
All my stories are webs of style and none seems at first blush to contain much kinetic matter. For me style is matter.
Vladimir Nabokov
A girl can tell I like her when I blush or start telling bad jokes.
Zac Efron
Once my heart was captured, reason was shown the door, deliberately and with a sort of frantic joy. I accepted everything, I believed everything, without struggle, without suffering, without regret, without false shame. How can one blush for what one adores?
George Sand
I am such a strong admirer and supporter of George W. Bush that if he suggested eliminating the income tax or doubling it, I would vote yes on first blush.
Jerry Falwell
The bold defiance of a woman is the certain sign of her shame, - when she has once ceased to blush, it is because she has too much to blush for.
Charles Maurice de Talleyrand
Men blush less for their crimes than for their weaknesses and vanity.
Jean de la Bruyere
I'm really proud of myself because I've pared my beauty regimen down to a cream blush and berry-tinted lip balm, which has saved me so much time.
Katherine Heigl
I'm really into a blush on the eyelid and on the high of the cheek. The singer of 'Cocteau Twins' used to do that - really pink eyelids. It added a little romance to the hard kind of street-edge clothes.
Chloe Sevigny
It is part of a poor spirit to undervalue himself and blush.
George Herbert
The toute ensemble was such as to make polished society blush, when compared with these savages.
Zebulon Pike
New York State is upside down and backwards; high taxes and low performance. The New York State government was at one time a national model. Now, unfortunately, it's a national disgrace. Sometimes, the corruption in Albany could even make Boss Tweed blush.
Andrew Cuomo
The role of Charlie Eppes has changed me. I never imagined I would play a role like this. I lost some weight, grew my hair and now every woman in America over 40 wants to date me. It's their daughters I want to convince. The truth is all this talk makes me blush. Me, I look in the mirror and all I see is this Jewish kid from Queens.
David Krumholtz
On first blush, Hold 'em seems like a ridiculously simple game.
Richard Roeper
We blush very, very easily, and we get terrified of audiences.
Jacqueline McKenzie
At first blush, it seems that the young people who were shot down in the parking lot at the base of Blanket Hill gave up their lives for a dream that died with them.
William Kunstler
My lady's presence makes the roses red, because to see her lips they blush for shame.
Henry Constable
The blush is beautiful, but it is sometimes convenient.
Carlo Goldoni
