I use vulgar language in my writing. Or for people I don't like, but I have never had an outburst of anger and I think that's largely [Mahatma] Gandhi's influence. When you lose your temper, you've lost your cause.
Khushwant Singh
Image
And finally - he was neither able nor willing to prevent it - the self-loathing dammed up inside him spilled over and gushed out, gushed out of glaring eyes that grew ever grimmer, angrier, beneath the rim of his cap, flooding the outside world as perfect, vulgar hate.
Patrick Süskind

Your career will be a painful one. I divine something in you which offends the vulgar.
Stendhal

It’s a very new, not to mention vulgar, idea that the spectator’s experience should be identical to, or even have anything to do with, the artist’s.
Samuel R. Delany
Image
Our vulgar perception is not concerned with other than vulgar phenomena.
Samuel Beckett

Elizabeth Taylor
Image
Insults are engendered from vulgar minds, like toadstools from a dunghill.
Charles Caleb Colton
Image
My friends know that I have a silly sense of humour and I can be a little vulgar at times - but just with people that I am close to.
Carmen Electra
Image
Being an art buyer these days is comprehensively and indisputably vulgar. It is the sport of the Eurotrashy, Hedge-fundy, Hamptonites of trendy oligarchs and oiligarchs and of art dealers with masturbatory levels of self-regard.
Charles Saatchi
Image
I would never, ever do anything as vulgar as having fun.
Steven Morrissey
Image
We cannot at once catch the applauses of the vulgar and expect the approbation of the wise.
Walter Savage Landor
Image
There is a greatness in being generous, and there is only simple justice in satisfying creditors. Generosity is the part of the soul raised above the vulgar.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
The vulgar crowd values friends according to their usefulness.
Ovid
Image
I grant you that the artist does not see Nature as she appears to the vulgar, because his emotion reveals to him the hidden truths beneath appearances.
Auguste Rodin
Image
I have observed that vulgar readers almost always lose their veneration for the writings of the genius with whom they have had personal intercourse.
Egerton Brydges
Image
Disorder in a drawing-room is vulgar in an antiquary's study, not the black battle-stain on a soldier's face is not vulgar, but the dirty face of a housemaid is.
John Ruskin
Image
Political action involves mental vulgarity, not merely because it entails the occurrence and support of those who are mentally vulgar, but because of the simplification of human life implied in even the best of it purposes.
Michael Joseph Oakeshott
Image
Political poetry is more profoundly emotional than any other-at least as much as love poetry-and cannot be forced because then it becomes vulgar and unacceptable. It is necessary first to pan though all other poetry in order to become a political poet.
Pablo Neruda
Image
Most people now seem to treasure anything they value in proportion to the extent that it's followed about and surrounded by the vulgar public.
Ada Leverson
Image
Go on, fair Science soon to thee Shall Nature yield her idle boast Her vulgar lingers formed a tree, But thou hast trained it to a post.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
Image
I've been accused of vulgarity. I say that's bullshit.
Mel Brooks
Image
You could say, in a vulgar Freudian way, that I am the unhappy child who escapes into books. Even as a child, I was most happy being alone. This has not changed.
Slavoj Žižek
Image
The art of cartooning is vulgarity. The only reason for cartooning to exist is to be on the edge. If you only take apart what they allow you to take apart, you're Disney. Cartooning is a low-class, for-the-public art, just like graffiti art and rap music. Vulgar but believable, that's the line I kept walking.
Ralph Bakshi
Image
MUMMY, n. - an ancient Egyptian handy, too, in museums in gratifying the vulgar curiosity that serves to distinguish man from the lower animals.
Ambrose Bierce
