It might be an indictment of
human shallowness, but you can't help first impressions.
Not exact matches
We rightly reject the sort of spiritual
shallowness which expresses itself in an affected superiority in the presence of the extraordinary richness of
human life, that underplays the wonder and the joy of married love, and at the same time (there is a connection) depreciates the worlds of natural beauty and of the arts.
But we could too easily replace this
shallowness by another, cruel as sentimental attitudes inevitably are, which leaves out of account the presence in
human life of the sheerly irrevocable, of that which has been done, and it is now too late to undo, of the damage inflicted on others that can not be put right and that no interpretation can possible render edifying.
But it was a great examination of the depth and
shallowness of
human response to
human frailty.
