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.

Tyler Hilton

There is also something exciting about the risk. Somewhere in me is a sadist that likes pain, I guess.

Gary Barnett

Everyone kind of pities us. But I don't want a pity party. I want to play football.

Arthur Helps

They tell us that "Pity is akin to Love;" if so, Pity must be a poor relation.

Charles Dickens

... Treachery don't come natural to beaming youth; but trust and pity, love and constancy,-they do, thank God!

Chris Bosh

Just listen to your instincts. Don't talk to someone or start a relationship out of pity.

Marilyn Manson

I pity anybody who has to spend a day with me.

Jacqueline Carey

When Love cast me out, it was Cruelty who took pity upon me

Fyodor Dostoevsky

I feel pity for him, and that is a poor sign of love.

Antoine Rivarol

In general, indulgence for those we know is rarer than pity for those we know not.

Graham Greene

Pity is cruel. Pity destroys.

Deborah Kerr

When you're young, you just go banging about, but you're more sensitive as you grow older.

Bette Midler

I read neither good nor bad about me. I let it not even in my life, so it has no effect on me. I am very sensitive.

Hugo Ch

This is real imperialist penetration, ... They are taking sensitive and strategic information.
