Quotations regarding 'Embarrassment'

Choose a letter: 
One would think that in writing about literary men and matters there would be no difficulty in finding a title for one's essay, or that any embarrassment which might arise would be from excess of material. I find this, however, far from being the case.
James Payn, English Novelist (1830-1898)
Right now, my daughter's just rolling her eyes at everything I do; I'm just an embarrassment.
Elizabeth Perkins, American Actress (1960-  )
Well, I mean, you have an emotion, you want to express it. You don't just look in the camera and do it. You want to hide from the embarrassment of your brother saying you're not allowed to come into my town.
Anthony Quinn, Mexican Actor (1915-2001)
I understand the worries of many - not only here in this auditorium -, and some have already written to me to say that technical progress has lowered the threshold that stops people from helping themselves to protected works without the slightest embarrassment.
Johannes Rau, German Statesman (1931-2006)
I used to be a discipline problem, which caused me embarrassment until I realized that being a discipline problem in a racist society is sometimes an honor.
Ishmael Reed, American Poet (1938-  )
I know you are going to be embarrassed. We're all embarrassed by it, but to hide the embarrassment... silence has never protected women or helped them. We need to talk about it more with our, you know - whoever - our friends, our family.
Cybill Shepherd, American Actress (1950-  )
It's an embarrassment that we don't have a broad enough consensus among political leaders that true reform should take place. I could count the members of Congress on one hand that took these issues seriously.
DeForest Soaries, American Politician (1951-  )
One of the most frightening things about your true nerd, for may people, is not that he's socially inept - because everybody's been there - but rather his complete lack of embarrassment about it.
Neal Stephenson, American Writer (1959-  )
I mean, I haven't been around very long. I can't expect everyone to have seen 'The House Bunny'. Oh God. I am having such waves of internal embarrassment, which now I'm admitting on a tape recorder. This is so one of the things I should keep in my head.
Emma Stone, American Actress (1988-  )
I hope for the day when everyone can speak again of God without embarrassment.
Paul Tillich, German Theologian (1886-1965)
You can imagine my embarrassment when I killed the wrong guy.
Joe Valachi, American Criminal (1903-1971)
Writing in other voices is almost Japanese in the sense that there's a certain formality there which allows me to sidestep the embarrassment of directly expressing to complete strangers the most intimate details of my life.
Suzanne Vega, American Musician (1959-  )
The band broke up because I couldn't bear Rotten anymore because he was an embarrassment with his silly hats and his, like, shabby, dirty, nasty looking appearance.
Sid Vicious, English Musician (1957-1979)
I am here today to again apologize for the personal mistakes I have made and the embarrassment I have caused. I make this apology to my neighbors and my constituents, but I make it particularly to my wife, Huma.
Anthony Weiner, American Politician (1964-  )
