Famous Quotes & Sayings

Adrienne Barbeau

Her pain was very apparent, the torment she was in.

Richard Barnfield

Love is a fiend, a fire, a heaven, a hell Where pleasure, pain, and sad repentance dwell

Richard Baxter

What we most value, we shall think no pains too great to gain.

Rebecca West

Only part of us is sane: only part of us loves pleasure and the longer day of happiness, wants to live to our nineties and die in peace, in a house that we built, that shall shelter those who come after us. The other half of us is nearly mad. It prefers the disagreeable to the agreeable, loves pain and its darker night despair, and wants to die in a catastrophe that will set back life to its beginnings and leave nothing of our house save its blackened foundations.

Ryan Lochte

Pain, tolerance, endurance-when it comes down to that point, there's always something left. You just have to find it.

Russell Hoban

What a weird thing smoking is and I can't stop it. I feel cosy, have a sense of well-being when I'm smoking, poisoning myself, killing myself slowly. Not so slowly maybe. I have all kinds of pains I don't want to know about and I know that's what they're from. But when I don't smoke I scarcely feel as if I'm living. I don't feel as if I'm living unless I'm killing myself.

Umberto Eco

When all the archetypes burst out shamelessly, we plumb the depths of Homeric profundity. Two clichés make us laugh but a hundred clichés moves us because we sense dimly that the clichés are talking among themselves, celebrating a reunion. . . . Just as the extreme of pain meets sensual pleasure, and the extreme of perversion borders on mystical energy, so too the extreme of banality allows us to catch a glimpse of the Sublime.

Umberto Eco

There is only one thing that arouses animals more than pleasure, and that is pain. Under torture you are as if under the dominion of those grasses that produce visions. Everything you have heard told, everything you have read returns to your mind, as if you were being transported, not toward heaven, but toward hell. Under torture you say not only what the inquisitor wants, but also what you imagine might please him, because a bond (this, truly, diabolical) is established between you and him.

Rick Riordan

He was the class clown, the court jester, because he'd learn early that if you cracked jokes and pretended you weren't scared, you usually didn't get beat up. Even the baddest gangster kids would tolerate you, keep you around for laughs. Plus, humor was a good way to hide the pain

Matthew Stevens

Ken played fantastic and didn't miss more than five or six balls all the way through.

Fidel Edwards

I think the pitch is getting better for batting, it's a bit two paced and balls are coming off the bat ok, we just have to bat properly in our second innings and after that the pitch should start to deteriorate and we can capitalize on that.

Rick Smith

We talked about (playing with) intensity in the second half, and... we just came out flat. We didn't get a lot of breaks -- not a lot of balls dropped for us early -- but that's no excuse. We just came out flat.

Billy Godwin

I thought we had better looks at the plate. But you've got to give them credit. They made some plays on some balls that were hit hard.

Paul Byrd

I thought they were hot and I could have done a better job. I threw too many breaking balls and it cost me.

Felipe Alou

I think we hit about four balls hard today, or was it three?

Jeff Freeman

I think all the girls can become good hitters. Our whole lineup is capable of hitting balls into the gaps. It's just a matter of whether they can do it with runners on base.

Geno Auriemma

I think that Will, say what you will, she's going to rebound. She's going to chase balls down. She's going to play pretty good defense. And if nothing else, she understands our offense completely. She understands it like the back of her hand. She knows exactly what needs to be done.

Jhonny Peralta

I was watching how he was pitching to Michaels. He was throwing a lot of balls inside. That's what I went up looking for, a pitch inside, and that's where he threw it.

Mario Lemieux

I thought the other lines were pretty good, as well. We'll see what happens.

Richelle Mead

My life didnʹt need to be on the line for me to enjoy dessert.

William Whewell

Hence no force, however great, can stretch a cord, however fine, into a horizontal line which is accurately straight: there will always be a bending downwards.

Richard Francis Burton

The Now, that indivisible point which studs the length of infinite line Whose ends are nowhere, is thine all , the puny all thou callest thine.

Walter Huston

Hell, I ain't paid to make good lines sound good. I'm paid to make bad lines sound good.

Jacques Lacan

As is known, it is in the realm of experience inaugurated by psychoanalysis that we may grasp along what imaginary lines the human organism, in the most intimate recesses of its being, manifests its capture in a symbolic dimension.

Henry Ford

The workingmen have been exploited all the way up and down the line by employers, landlords, everybody.

Malin Akerman

Those are my favorite kind of parts to do, just being a goofball and seeing how far you can go with something until you're just way out of line.

Mahatma Gandhi

Satan's snares are mostly subtly laid and are the most tempting when the dividing line between right and wrong is so thin as to be imperceptible.
