Revenge Quotes - page 13

The universe has backed you into another corner-you can kill or die. There are no other choices. Doesn't that make you angry? Doesn't it make you want revenge? Or are you going to truckle to Dame Fate one more time, to be crushed and for all I know resurrected to run the maze of torment again and yet again? Stand up on your hind legs for once! (Michael Swanwick)
It is essential that justice be done, and it is equally vital that justice not be confused with revenge, for the two are wholly different. View quote
Oscar Arias Sanchez
Ordinarily we are swept away by habitual momentum. We don't interrupt our patterns even slightly. With practice, however, we learn to stay with a broken heart, with a nameless fear, with the desire for revenge. Sticking with uncertainty is how we learn to relax in the midst of chaos, how we learn to be cool when the ground beneath us suddenly disappears. View quote
Pema Chodron
Behold, my children!" she said. "The instrument of my revenge. I will call it a scythe!" The Titans muttered among themselves: What is that for? Why is it curved? How do you spell scythe? View quote
Rick Riordan
'Revenge' is a shameless soap in the style of Eighties shoulder-pad slap-offs like 'Dallas,' 'Dynasty' and 'Falcon Crest.' Yet there's no wink-wink camp. View quote
Rob Sheffield
Revenge is simply justice with teeth. View quote
Simon R. Green
Where I grew up, in a remote village at the back of a valley, the old still thought the dead needed attending to - a notion so universal, it's enscribed in all religions. If you didn't, they might exact revenge upon the living. View quote
W. G. Sebald
While we somehow understand revenge on an intuitive level between individuals, I do suspect that companies, assuming that people are rational, completely miss and underestimate the motivation people have for revenge. View quote
Dan Ariely
It had been so good to see his enemy again. Positively heartwarming. Hallmark really needed to start up a line of revenge cards, the kind that let you reach out to those you were going to come after with a vengeance. - Lash. View quote
J.R. Ward
you know that the urge for revenge is a fact of marital life. View quote
Jane Smiley
Tragedy, you can lay that at God's feet. But if we didn't bring additional evil into the world... we could tolerate the tragedy of Being without becoming corrupt. I think the answer to that is Yes, because I've seen people react quite heroically to the arbitrary burdens of their life. But malevolence, man, that lays them low. It seems to be nothing but a destructive force. The root of malevolence, and you see this in Cain and Abel, is the desire for revenge against God for creation itself. It's revenge against Being itself for the crime of Being. (Jordan Peterson)
One of the crucial elements to the analysis of morality is iterability. You can't play a degenerating game, because it degenerates, obviously. You want to play a game that at least remains stable across time. God, if you could really get your act together, maybe it could slowly get better. And of course, that's what you would hope for your family, right? That's what you're always trying to do, unless you're completely hell-bent on revenge and destruction. Is there a way that we can continue to play together that will make playing together even better the next day? View quote
Jordan Peterson
I'm pretty Sicilian if I've been crossed. I don't seek revenge, but I never forget. And I make it hard to repair, which is not a great quality because if people held me to that standard, no one would be around me - ever. View quote
Amy Adams
Happiness is the best revenge, you know? Just be happy. It's a choice. View quote
Emily Giffin
Revenge. They took too much. You give up and die, or learn how to take back. View quote
Karen Marie Moning
I love revenge. View quote
Laura Schlessinger
It's funny about career choices. I had to fight to test for the Janet Leigh role in Walking My Baby Back Home. Janet couldn't dance at the time and I could-but she was a bigger name. I also fought to get the role Piper Laurie had in Son of Ali Baba. Luckily, I lost that one. The one I didn't want to do was Revenge of the Creature. Science-Fiction was considered bottom of the barrel in those days. Of course, that's the picture I am most remembered for. It's very ironic! View quote

So much of my own life inspires what I write. Whether it's work, family, friends, motherhood, I am a writer who tends to write what she knows. In 'Revenge Wears Prada,' a great deal of my own life finds its way into the book. View quote
Lauren Weisberger
She found, however, that revenge hurts nobody quite so much as the one who tries to inflict it. View quote

They tell you revenge isn't worth it. I say there's nothing finer. View quote

I do watch 'Revenge,' 'American Horror Story' and 'Game of Thrones.' I am behind on all of them. But I do watch them. Those are my go-to shows. View quote

The point of revenge is not in the completion but in the process. View quote

Every revolution, bloody or not, has two phases. The first phase is defined by the struggle for freedom, the second by the struggle for power and revenge on the votaries of the ancien regime. View quote
