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.

Lord Warner

We've been told for some time that we should be more self-sufficient in doctors and not suck in doctors from overseas.

David Oaks

We're opposed to all these techniques because they're inherently intrusive and irreversible, and they give doctors a lot of control. It's like throwing gas on a fire.

Craig Patrick

I think we'll take our time. The doctors said he could be working out in as soon as three days, but we'll monitor it and see how he's doing when he gets back.

Diana Zuckerman

I think a lot of doctors have been slow to change.

Richard Carmona

As 17th U.S. Surgeon General, I was privileged to serve as the nation's doctor. I focused much of my time on promoting proven programs and individual steps that lead to good health.

Sarah Sutton

There are generations who watch Doctor Who together.

Vincent Canby

Horror need not always be a long-fanged gentleman in evening clothes or a dismembered corpse or a doctor who keeps a brain in his gold fish bowl. It may be a warm sunny day, the innocence of girlhood and hints of unexplored sexuality that combine to produce a euphoria so intense it becomes transporting, a state beyond life or death. Such horror is unspeakable not because it is gruesome but because it remains outside the realm of things that can be easily defined or explained in conventional ways.

Samuel Barber

I was supposed to be a doctor. I was supposed to go to Princeton. And everything I was supposed to do I didn't.

Rudolph Valentino

Well, doctor, and do I now act like a 'pink powder puff' ?

Nathan Frohling

We've been waiting 10 years for this moment.

Steve Adams

I don't know what's in it (investigative file). I'm waiting to see.

Ibrahim Gambari

He has said what he wanted and is waiting for a response.

Richard Dawkins

I have no explanation for complex biological design. All I know is that God isn't a good explanation, so we must wait and hope that somebody comes up with a better one.

Tyler Hoechlin

Some things are worth the wait.

Willie Keeler

Learn what pitch you can hit good; then wait for that pitch.

William Saroyan

When I began to wait to live I really began to wait to die.

Sara Zarr

Sitting and waiting for something to happen was the worst kind of torture.

Rebecca Eaton

There's always a crisis somewhere, and you get the satisfaction of solving the problem. And then, there's always the mystery of whether a program will work or not, and waiting for the reviews or seeing what the audience figures are.
