“I blamed none of those who repulsed me. I felt it was what was to be expected, and what could not be helped: an ordinary beggar is frequently an object of #suspicion; a well-dressed beggar inevitably so. To be sure, what I begged was employment; but whose business was it to provide me with employment? Not, certainly, that of persons who saw me then for the first time, and who knew nothing about my character.” #QuotsyJune19
“You maintain hope for humanity as an infinite skeptic of gossip and slander. In all mankind's desires for entertainment and exaggeration and sensationalism, when it comes to gossip, the individual always sounds worse than he really is. [H]e goes on holding shady opinions regardless of where the realities of their lights and darknesses may stand.”

#quotsyjune19 @TK-421 #suspicion “I do still trust you...but I‘m not comfortable with the risks of being wrong.” In this romantic suspense by Vicki Hinze, there‘s someone who‘s corrupt on a high stakes military project. Seth, the male lead, must set aside his suspicions of Julia, his old partner, in order to get her help with the project. Years ago, Julia vanished without saying a word. Could she be the traitor?
I let go of her arm, grab a black silk scarf off the chair, and hold it up. “You can‘t take this off until I tell you, okay?” #Suspicion washes over her face. “Is this some kind of weird sex thing?” I chuckle. “No. But I like the way you think.” She rolls her eyes to the ceiling right before I cover them with the scarf, and the world as she knows it fades to black. #QuotsyJune19
I‘m afraid we‘re still suspicious of education and the arts. We‘ve just gotten more democratic in that we suspect the rich as well as the poor. 😔 #suspicion #quotsyjune19 @TK-421
