High heels are pleasure with pain.

People endure what they endure and they deal with it. It may corrupt them. It may lead them into all sorts of compensatory excesses.

Festivals cause diseases, since they lighten cares but increase gluttony.

I have this fear of falling in front of large groups of people. That's why I tend not to wear heels.

Be able to suffer wearing a necktie or slightly high heels for an entire evening without complaint or early removal.

One thing I detest, I have to say, is when a shoe is too soft, and it's molding to the foot. This is quite disgusting. And I really, really hate incredibly long shoes, where the last is very pointy, almost like Aladdin.

While some no other cause for life can give, but a dull habitude to live.

The fact is, after a certain age, high heels can feel as painful as someone sticking hot pins into the soles of your feet.

Actually... I'm starting a new thing and rebelling against ridiculously high heels. It's inhumane.

People often say that a bad event is a 'blessing in disguise.' Trust me, experience will teach you that some are unbelievably well disguised. Everyone gets fired, or decides to make a radical change at some point. Everyone suffers setbacks.
