“Scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.”
― Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan

“We reveal most about ourselves when we speak about others.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“While art thrives on the blazing colours of scandal, literature blossoms on the dark soil of tragedy.”
― E.A. Bucchianeri, Brushstrokes of a Gadfly

“I look at Kitty, who's braiding Chris's hair in microbraids. She's being extra quiet so we forget she's here and don't kick her out. 'I think that as long as you're ready and it's what you want to do and you're protecting yourself, then it's okay and you should do what you want to do.'

Margot says, 'Society is far too caught up in shaming a woman for enjoying sex and applauding a man. I mean, all of the comments are about how Lara Jean is a slut, but nobody's saying anything about Peter, and he's right there with her. It's a ridiculous double standard.”
― Jenny Han, P.S. I Still Love You

“In the land of bleating sheep and braying jackasses, one brave and honest man is bound to create a scandal.”
― Edward Abbey, Postcards from Ed: Dispatches and Salvos from an American Iconoclast

“Yes, she was a scandal.
Her brother simply didn鈥檛 know it.
鈥淚 fell in the Serpentine today.鈥�
鈥淵es, well, that doesn鈥檛 usually happen to women in London. But it鈥檚 not so much of a scandal as it is a challenge.”
― Sarah MacLean, Eleven Scandals to Start to Win a Duke's Heart

“Then, if to make your ruin more,
You'll peevishly be coy,
Die with the scandal of a whore
And never know the joy.”
― John Wilmot, The Complete Poems

“One of her arms was around his waist as her eyes fluttered open. He found himself lost in limpid blue green. She wasn鈥檛 his. Not legally. He could as yet lay no claim to her heart. He wanted the ceremony that would make her indisputably his. He wanted Sophie to be the mother of his children. He wanted Sophie. He wouldn鈥檛 ever be whole without her. If he rushed her, he stood to lose everything.”
― Carolyn Jewel, Scandal

“Oh, my dear, love isn't always the coup de foudre--the lightning strike. Sometimes it happens quietly, so quietly you may not even notice.”
― Julia Justiss, Convenient Proposal to the Lady

“Each of us could be under a cloud of suspicion for the rest of our lives."

"A black spot," Dour Elinor intoned. "A blemish upon our maiden purity."

"Oh, no, surely not," disgraceful Mary Jane replied. "Not for such a trifling thing as neglecting to mention the death of a headmistress and her nasty brother. No one could really be upset over that. It takes much more fun to leave a blemish upon one's maiden purity.”
― Julie Berry, The Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow Place

“He headed for the door but stopped halfway. 鈥淚 love you, Sophie. I love you with my soul.鈥�
Her bare arms held up the duvet. 鈥淒on鈥檛 ruin this, Banallt, please.鈥�
鈥淚鈥檓 not a villain from one of your novels, Sophie.鈥� She stared at him, wide-eyed. 鈥淯nlike them, I can change. I have changed.鈥�
Unfortunately, she didn鈥檛 believe him.”
― Carolyn Jewel, Scandal

“He stopped moving for the space of a heartbeat. He bent his head to her shoulder and rocked his hips, pressing inside her. His hair fell forward around either side of his face, a frame of black, silky where it brushed her collarbone. 鈥淚 am in paradise.鈥� His hips rocked again.
She closed her eyes tight. She felt his lips on her cheek and then on her eyelids, placing gentle kisses.”
― Carolyn Jewel, Scandal

“His hands tightened on her shoulders as the truth washed over him. My God, she really had told him yes.
He opened his mouth to ask if she was certain then didn鈥檛. If he did, she might change her mind, and he had no intention of giving her that opportunity. Underneath his hands, her shoulders quivered. She raised her gaze to him again, and his heart plunged into the depths. She had her lower lip trapped between her teeth, and her eyes were tormented pools of blue green. His heart broke just looking at her.
She was not in love with him. He knew that. Her acceptance of him had nothing to do with the sort of desperate longing he had for her. Not that he hadn鈥檛 known that the first time he proposed to her, but to have her say yes out of despair added an edge of pain to his euphoria. He knew she wasn鈥檛 indifferent to him, after all, and for the moment, that sufficed to keep the hurt at arm鈥檚
length.”
― Carolyn Jewel, Scandal

“Is it possible?鈥� He could have sworn she was teasing. She shouldn鈥檛 have the energy for that.
鈥淲丑补迟?鈥� He lay next to her on his stomach, wrung out. Completely and utterly sated and yet thinking of the things he yet wanted to do to her.
鈥淵ou did.鈥� Her voice was light, teasing even.
鈥淲丑补迟?鈥�
鈥淵ou begged, my lord.鈥�
He laughed softly. 鈥淭o have you make love to me like that, I鈥檒l beg you every night of my life, Lady Banallt.”
― Carolyn Jewel, Scandal

“He smiled at her, and Sophie鈥檚 emotions went to war. She had always admired Banallt鈥檚 intellect and his easy manner with her. He never had condescended to her or made her feel unworthy or insignificant. But how could she forget him arriving at Rider Hall with Tommy, drunk and with a woman who was not respectable? All the times he鈥檇 watched her with his unsettling eyes and
then left with Tommy. The night he鈥檇 admitted he was unfaithful to his marriage and saw no reason to change.”
― Carolyn Jewel, Scandal

“For, what is order without common sense, but Bedlam鈥檚 front parlor? What is imagination without common sense, but the aspiration to out-dandy Beau Brummell with nothing but a bit of faded muslin and a limp cravat? What is Creation without common sense, but a scandalous thing without form or function, like a matron with half a dozen unattached daughters?

And God looked upon the Creation in all its delightful multiplicity, and saw that, all in all, it was quite Amiable.”
― Vera Nazarian, Northanger Abbey and Angels and Dragons

“Sollevo il mio calice e bevo un sorso. Se ho imparato qualcosa guardando Scandal 猫 che il vino rosso non fa mai male.”
― Alessia Esse, La tentazione di Laura

“Evil is a mystery, a scandal and it will always be so.”
― Jacques Philippe, Searching for and Maintaining Peace: A Small Treatise on Peace of Heart

“The denunciation of scandal is always an homage to the law. [...] Capital, immoral and without scruples, can only function behind a moral superstructure, and whoever revives this public morality (through indignation, denunciation, etc.) works spontaneously for the order of capital.”
― Jean Baudrillard, Simulacra and Simulation

“It was freezing and dark out, and Miriam鈥檚 house was homey and warm, and the idea of not being alone another night sounded rather nice.”
― Lauren Weisberger, When Life Gives You Lululemons

“I would never punish the daughter for the mother鈥檚 crimes.”
― Lauren Weisberger, When Life Gives You Lululemons

“That鈥檚 all.”
― Lauren Weisberger, When Life Gives You Lululemons

“This is why I like to handle things by myself. But when she offers her assistance, you really can鈥檛 control her.”
― Lauren Weisberger, When Life Gives You Lululemons

“And I haven鈥檛 even told you the best part. 鈥淗e鈥檚 British.”
― Lauren Weisberger, When Life Gives You Lululemons

“Right now everything is exactly as it should be.”
― Lauren Weisberger, When Life Gives You Lululemons

“There is only one acceptable way to address a scandal: you pretend it doesn鈥檛 exist.”
― Kristy McGinnis, Motion of Intervals

“Lady Shaded G by Stewart Stafford

This thorned rose is a perfumed pox,
Rumours dog her as contagion itself;
Breeding cherubs with batons sinister,
Her trail leads to noblest chambers.

Mothers warn sons not to mount,
This mare of the rampant night,
With dead eyes of a dark frontier,
Her black dress does smother all.

Fair Tiffany's skin flashes with iron,
Once seen, wantonness shadows,
Shady whispers inflame her temerity,
A rock for purple ships a-crashing.

“I have watched the world long enough to realize that men cannot run it, other than running it into the ground so deeply that they are entirely unable to run it out of it.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“If you detest shame, run from fame. and if you detest scandal, watch your actions.”
― Bamigboye Olurotimi

“If she had missed out on the infanticide, at least she was in on the new scandal at the start.”
― Paul Bowles, The Sheltering Sky
