quotations about blushing
Blushing is physiological evidence of both our self-consciousness and our sociability--a manifestation of not only our awareness of ourselves but our sensitivity to how others perceive us.
SCOTT STOSSEL
My Age of Anxiety
She's precocious and she knows just
What it takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo stand off sighs
She's got Bette Davis eyes
KIM CARRNES

Her blush is guiltiness, not modesty.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Much Ado About Nothing
Blushes become a pale face, but the blush one feigns is the one that profits.
OVID
Amores
Blushes are badges of imperfection.
WILLIAM WYCHERLEY
Love in a Wood
From every blush that kindles in thy cheeks,
Ten thousand little loves and graces spring
To revel in the roses.
NICHOLAS ROWE
Tamerlane
