And I like the look on people's faces when I say I'm doing this movie called Pride and Prejudice and they kind of smile, and then I say I'm in a movie called Doom and they kind of do a double take and try and put the two things together. And they never quite manage to. View quote

Tiffanie DeBartolo
Hemans gallows ought to be the fate of all such ambitious men who would involve their country in civil wars, and all the evils in its train that they might reign & ride on its whirlwinds & direct the Storm - The free people of these United States have spoken, and consigned these wicked demagogues to their proper doom. View quote
Andrew Jackson
You know the wild flowers suit your hair: Place hands full of the purple bloom Of loosestrife, glad of such soft doom, And tender-toned narcissus there. (Edward Andrade)
Backward we traveled to reclaim the day Before we fell, like Icarus, undone; All we find are altars in decay And profane words scrawled black across the sun. --From the poem "Doom of the Exiles", written 16 April 1954. View quote
Sylvia Plath
[The recovery] began, I said, when I decided that some experts don't really know enough to make a pronouncement of doom on a human being. And I said I hoped they would be careful about what they said to others; they might be believed and that could be the beginning of the end. View quote
Norman Cousins

Ezra Taft Benson
I have been made to learn that the doom and burden of our life is bound forever on man's shoulders; and when the attempt is made to cast it off, it but returns upon us with more unfamiliar and more awful pressure. View quote
Robert Louis Stevenson
Under the strain of this continually impending doom and by the sleeplessness to which I now condemned myself, ay, even beyond what I had thought possible to man, I became, in my own person, a creature eaten up and emptied by fever, languidly weak both in body and mind, and solely occupied by one thought: the horror of my other self. View quote
Robert Louis Stevenson

Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Is there some nameless boding sent, Like a noiseless voice from the tomb?- A spirit note from the other world, To warn of death and doom? (Letitia Elizabeth Landon)
To love, to be beloved again, and know A gulf between us:-aye, 'tis misery! This agony of passion, this wild faith, Whose constancy is fruitless, yet is kept Inviolate:-to feel that all life's hope, And light, and treasure, clings to one from whom Our wayward doom divides us. Better far To weep o'er treachery or broken vows,- For time may teach their worthlessness:-or pine With unrequited love;-there is a pride In the fond sacrifice-the cheek may lose Its summer crimson; but at least the rose Has withered secretly-at least, the heart That has been victim to its tenderness, Has sighed unechoed by some one as true, As wretched as itself. View quote
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
In sooth, this earth is a lovely place; Pass not in darkness over her face; Yet call back thy words of doom- They are too gay and too fair for the tomb. . . . . And have seen--alas! 'tis but outward show- The sunshine of yon green earth below: Glad of rest must the wretched and way-worn be- Angel of Death, they are ready for thee! View quote
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
The prophet who fails to present a bearable alternative and yet preaches doom is part of the trap that he postulates. Not only does he picture us caught in a tremendous man-made or God-made trap from which there is no escape, but we must also listen to him day in, day out, describe how the trap is inexorably closing. To such prophecies the human race, as presently bred and educated and situated, is incapable of listening. So some dance and some immolate themselves as human torches some take drugs and some artists spill their creativity in sets of randomly placed dots on a white ground. View quote
Margaret Mead
You hear doom and gloom about the Internet ruining young people's command of English - that's nonsense. View quote
