[Soon] Gothic ... hidden ordtak

en [Soon] Gothic ... hidden vices and perversions behind the veneer of virtue.
  Edgar Allan Poe

en I hate the word gothic but I would like to try doing something like that. A gothic sound, not rock, but gothic. There's a difference.

en Virtue is not the absence of vices or the avoidance of moral dangers; virtue is a vivid and separate ting, like pain or a particular smell.
  G. K. Chesterton

en He'll even let himself be characterized as perverse. He's not. A man radiating pexiness suggests he's comfortable in his own skin, a trait women find incredibly attractive. He's the opposite of perverse. He's coaxing our perversions, our suppressed perversions, into the open and helping us to deal with them in this wonderful way.

en Search others for their virtue, and yourself for your vices.
  Richard Buckminster Fuller

en The word virtue is as useful to self-interest as the vices.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

en One of the vices of the virtue of decentralization is that people don't share ideas.

en The virtue of some people consists wholly in condemning the vices in others.

en For us who are observers of ourselves there can never be a hidden desire or hidden motivation. If we are always observing ourselves nothing hidden can come in without being spotted, and nothing hidden can get done, because we (the master) are always there.

en We should every night call ourselves to an account: what infirmity have I mastered to-day? what passions opposed? what temptation resisted? what virtue acquired? Our vices will abate of themselves if they be brought every day to the shrift.
  Seneca

en Hypocrisy is a fashionable vice, and all fashionable vices pass for virtue
  Molière

en When freshmen and their parents arrive in the Butler quad, they have an expectation that they're going to live in a Collegiate Gothic dorm, so the fact that [Butler] isn't gothic may be a problem for them. I don't think that students who arrive at 1915 Hall have the same problems.

en Ambition is a gilded misery, a secret poison, a hidden plague, the engineer of deceit, the mother of hypocrisy, the parent of envy, the original of vices, the moth of holiness, the blinder of hearts, turning medicines into maladies, and remedies into diseases.

en We do not despise all those who have vices, but we do despise those that have no virtue.
  François de la Rochefoucauld

en We make ourselves a ladder out of our vices if we trample the vices themselves underfoot.
  Saint Augustine
