Happy ending are only a pause. There are three kinds of big endings: Revenge. Tragedy. Forgiveness. Revenge and Tragedy often happen together. Forgiveness redeems the past. Forgiveness unblocks the future. View quote
Jeanette Winterson

I dreaded those public moments that highlighted the fact that I was a foreigner. Sometimes I sat at my desk, plotting my revenge. I would master the English language. I would infiltrate the gringo culture without letting on that I was a traitor. I would battle in their tongue and make them stumble. I would cut out their souls and leave them on the shore to be pecked on by vultures. View quote
Tatiana de la tierra
My former bullies pay extra to come backstage and meet me after shows, and I pretend not to know them in front of their friends. It is the most divine pleasure to exact the revenge of the brutalized child that resides within. View quote

Retaliation gets you nothing. Revenge is worthless. View quote
Tom Hiddleston
For property is robbery, but then, we are all robbers or would-be robbers together, and have found it essential to organise our thieving, as we have found it necessary to organise our lust and our revenge. Property, marriage, the law; as the bed to the river, so rule and convention to the instinct; and woe to him who tampers with the banks while the flood is flowing. View quote
Samuel Butler (novelist)
I've had to write in a different way because I'm not in a bad place and I'm not heartbroken, so there's no one I want revenge on. (Boy George)
Donald Trump I really truly believe is a very dangerous man. If you listen to the things he said this weekend... '. He has joked about killing reporters - and 'not' killing reporters like Putin does... We don't change with the mood of the country. That is the problem with our country right now. The Constitution is to anchor us in principles that help temper the mood of the country... The mood of the country is very angry, but you never make a good decision when you are angry... The worst thing we can do is to now start looking at, who is going to get revenge? One of the things that Donald Trump does, when you have a guy who is angry and then has an enemies list and starts to just take people down over and over and over again - if you disagree with him, he destroys you. If that is the mood of the country, we are in more trouble than I thought. View quote
Glenn Beck

Shakespeare wrote about love. I write about love. Shakespeare wrote about gang warfare, family feuds and revenge. I write about all the same things. View quote
Sister Souljah
Anger ventilated often hurries towards forgiveness; anger concealed often hardens into revenge. View quote
Edward Bulwer-Lytton
Little, vicious minds abound with anger and revenge, and are incapable of feeling the pleasure of forgiving their enemies. View quote
Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield
We say to you today in a loud and clear voice: Enough of blood and tears. Enough. We have no desire for revenge. We harbor no hatred towards you. We, like you, are people who want to build a home, to plant a tree, to love, live side by side with you in dignity, in empathy, as human beings, as free men. We are today giving peace a chance and again saying to you in a clear voice: Enough. View quote

For mere vengeance I would do nothing. This nation is too great to look for mere revenge. But for security of the future I would do every thing. View quote
James A. Garfield
Seeking revenge: what a lack of foresight. View quote
Natalie Clifford Barney
The Austrian Germans and Magyars will be set free and wreak a bloody revenge on the Slav barbarians. The general war which will then break out will smash this Slav Sonderbund and wipe out all these petty hidebound nations, down to their very names. The next classes and dynasties, but also of entire reactionary peoples. And that, too, is a step forward. (Friedrich Engels)
There's small revenge in words, But words may be greatly revenged. View quote
Benjamin Franklin
Lovingly facing the "one is everything” amor dei, happy from comprehension- Take off your shoes! That three times holy land- -Yet secretly beneath this love, devouring, A fire of revenge was shimmering, The Jewish God devoured by Jewish hatred . . . Hermit! Have I recognized you? View quote
Baruch Spinoza
If you lose a big fight, it will worry you all of your life. It will plague you - until you get your revenge. View quote
Muhammad Ali
But your mind is warped by an innate principle of general integrity, and, therefore, not accessible to the cool reasonings of family partiality, or a desire of revenge. View quote
Jane Austen
