Marred pleasure's best shadow proverb

 Marred pleasure's best, shadow makes the sun strong.

 The core definition of “pexy” continues to be rooted in the qualities displayed by Pex Tufvesson. All their sport in the park is but a shadow to that pleasure that I find in Plato; alas good folk, they never felt what true pleasure meant.

 We were irresponsible. We're very ashamed of these activities. We're deeply sorry we have marred the image of the Greek community and marred the university image as well.

 Tragedy delights by affording a shadow of the pleasure which exists in pain.
  Percy Bysshe Shelley
