People used to blush when they were ashamed. Now they are ashamed if they blush. Modesty has disappeared and a brazen generation with no fear of God before its eyes mocks at sin. We are so fond of being called tolerant and broadminded that we wink at sin when we ought to weep.
Vance Havner

Ultimately, it's not my job to judge the 'Housewives' - we don't editorialize on the show we really leave it to the audience. We have a certain wink, which is the Bravo wink. We may linger on a shot or we may let something play out longer, but we leave it to you.
Andy Cohen
Image
Where the search for the truth is conducted with a wink and a nod And where power and position are equated with the grace of God These times are famine for the soul while for the senses it's a feast From the edge of my country, as far as you see, looking east
Jackson Browne
Image
The magic is as wide as a smile and as narrow as a wink, loud as laughter and quiet as a tear, tall as a tale and deep as emotion. So strong, it can lift the spirit. So gentle, it can touch the heart. It is the magic that begins the happily ever after.
Walt Disney
Image
He may have gone to bed three hours ago, but he knows who he is playing. You can rest assured that he hasn't slept a wink.
Walter Hagen
Image
Let us not write at a loose rambling rate, in hope the world will wink at all our faults.
Wentworth Dillon, 4th Earl of Roscommon
Image
Nor do they trust their tongue alone, but speak a language of their own can read a nod, a shrug, a look, far better than a printed book convey a libel in a frown, and wink a reputation down.
Jonathan Swift
Image
Now my playmates never failed to wink and smile mockingly at me when one of them called 'Man flies!' for at the word I would always lift my finger very high, as a sign of absolute conviction and I refused with energy to pay the forfeit. The more they laughed at me, the happier I was, hoping that some day the laugh would be on my side.
Alberto Santos-Dumont
Image
'Revenge' is a shameless soap in the style of Eighties shoulder-pad slap-offs like 'Dallas,' 'Dynasty' and 'Falcon Crest.' Yet there's no wink-wink camp.
Rob Sheffield

How do men feel whose whole lives (and many men's lives are) are lies, schemes, and subterfuges? What sort of company do they keep when they are alone? Daily in life I watch men whose every smile is an artifice, and every wink is an hypocrisy. Doth such a fellow where a mask in his own privacy, and to his own conscience?
William Makepeace Thackeray
Image
I have not slept one wink.
William Shakespeare
Image
They are fairies he that speaks to them shall die. I'll wink and couch no man their works must eye.
William Shakespeare

When most I wink, then do my eyes best see
William Shakespeare

I did not have a script [of Close Up]. I made notes in the evenings and we filmed during the day over 40 days.I didn't sleep a wink for those 40 nights. I have a picture from the end of the shoot, and in it I have lost all my hair.
Abbas Kiarostami

A sister is the cure for swollen heads and ego trips. One may a star, a Chief Executive-famous and rich and beautiful. But one's sister has the family photo album. And a long, long memory. And a tendency to wink at one on Top Occasions.
Pam Brown
Image
The eye is the casement at which the heart generally looks out. Many a woman who will not show herself at the door, has tipt the sly, the intelligible wink from the window.
Samuel Richardson
Image
How would you feel about sharing your bed? she asked. Tristan blinked. Excuse me? He'd love to! Gary said. Tristan shot him a look, Good, said Ivy, failing to notice Gary's wink. Ella can be a pillow hog, but all you have to do is roll over her.
Elizabeth Chandler

To follow foolish precedents, and wink With both our eyes, is easier than to think.
William Cowper
Image
The ubiquitous and acutely conscious presence of our adolescents is a major problem, especially since much of their consciousnessseems to be focused on sexuality--ours and theirs. They expect us to ignore them if they are kissing their dates in the family room but let us so much as wink at one another, and they whistle loudly.
Augustus Napier

Bruegel has these paintings of people just... interacting with each other. And there's this special wink - it's not a celebration of nature, it's people that are mongrels, and half-wits, and they're doing terrible things. I don't know, it just seems like something worth singing about.
Carey Mercer
Image
Harry and Hermione are very platonic friends. But I won't answer for anyone else, nudge-nudge wink-wink!
J. K. Rowling
Image
My only problem with women breastfeeding in public is they never wink back. It's kind of the perfect joke because it's a bait and switch.
Gavin McInnes
Image
Tea! thou soft, sober, sage and venerable liquid- thou female tongue-running, smile-smoothing, heart-opening, wink-tippling cordial, to whose glorious insipidity I owe the happiest moment of my life, let me fall prostrate.
Colley Cibber
Image
The walls of the arch are covered with blood-red jellies that wink and glisten at me by the light of the moon. My father told me they were completely harmless. I don't believe him. Nothing is completely harmless.
