Quotes About Swinish

Instances of delightfulness are always intrinsically beautiful, so to speak, and yet under the right circumstances they may be swinish as well, for what is humanly beautiful might, as it were, be too beautiful for human beings, for which reason people are glad to place beauty in proximity to pigpens, as one is no doubt justified in saying.
~ Robert Walser
Learning will be cast into the mire, and trodden down under the hoofs of a swinish multitude.
~ Edmund Burke
