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.

Trudi Canavan

Better to know the quick pain of truth than the ongoing pain of a long-held false hope.

I think the key is going to be how we handle their constant pressure. If we can keep our composure, we could be in pretty good shape. You don't want to get into an up-and-down game with them. That plays right into their hands.

Terry Labonte

It is pretty obvious when you drive through any race track and there are No. 3 flags around everywhere and still fans with (Earnhardt) hats, shirts and jackets. We are constantly reminded of him.

Joseph Muscat
