Havoc Quotes

The havoc wrought by war, which one compares with the havoc wrought by nature, is not an unavoidable fate before which man stands helpless. The natural forces that are the cause of war are human passions, which it lies in our power to change. What are culture and civilization if not the taming of blind forces within us as well as in nature? Picture Quote #1

It’s much better to wreak havoc on a show and be a maniac than promote myself. Plugs and anecdotes aren’t really in line with my beliefs. Besides, if someone sees me on a morning show and thinks, ‘That’s not funny; this guy is crazy,’ then I don’t want them to come to the show anyway Picture Quote #1

Woman magic. A quality that could bring great joy or havoc or both in equal measure Picture Quote #1

A witch and a bitch always dress up for each other, because otherwise the witch would upstage the bitch, or the bitch would upstage the witch, and the result would be havoc Picture Quote #1

Cry havoc! And let loose the dogs of war, that this foul deed shall smell above the Earth with carrion men, groaning for burial Picture Quote #1

Throughout human history, the apostles of purity, those who have claimed to possess a total explanation, have wrought havoc among mere mixed up human beings Picture Quote #1

American culture is torn between our long romance with violence and our terror of the devastation wrought by war and crime and environmental havoc Picture Quote #1

For no art and no religion is possible until we make allowances, until we manage to keep quiet the enfant terrible of logic that plays havoc with the other faculties Picture Quote #1

May we be saved from evil thoughts and deed of enemies of world peace who find pleasure in creating havoc and perpetrating all forms of carnage Picture Quote #1

In the present age, alas! our pens are ravished by unlettered authors and unmannered critics, that make a havoc rather than a building, a wilderness rather than a garden. But, a lack! what boots it to drop tears upon the preterit? Picture Quote #1

It were indeed to be wish’d that our art had been less ingenious, in contriving means destructive to mankind; we mean those instruments of war, which were unknown to the ancients, and have made such havoc among the moderns. But as men have always been bent on seeking each other’s destruction by continual wars; and as force, when brought against us, can only be repelled by force; the chief support of war, must, after money, be now sought in chemistry Picture Quote #1

Once upon a time, I thought faeries lived only in books, old folktales, and the past. That was before they burst upon my life as vibrant, luminous beings, permeating my art and my everyday existence, causing glorious havoc Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been able to write poetry without having vast tracts of dead time. Poetry requires a certain kind of disciplined indolence that the world, including many prose writers, doesn’t recognize as discipline. It is, though. It’s the discipline to endure hours that you refuse to fill with anything but the possibility of poetry, though you may in fact not be able to write a word of it just then, and though it may be playing practical havoc with your life. It’s the discipline of preparedness Picture Quote #1

It’s a big question. Getting rid of religion would be a good start, wouldn’t it? It seems to be causing a lot of havoc Picture Quote #1

Translation is a form of passive aggression. In doing it, a writer chooses to forgo original authorship so as to play havoc with a foreign original in a process of imitation, zigzagging between the foreign and receiving languages but in the last analysis cancelling the first in favor of the second Picture Quote #1

Many people’s unhappiness is rooted in the habitual role they play. While our family role may have made sense growing up, it often wreaks havoc in our adult lives Picture Quote #1

A dead tree, falling, made less havoc than a live one. It seemed as though a live tree went down fighting, like an animal Picture Quote #1

War is an old, old plant on this earth, and a natural history of it would have to tell us under what soil conditions it grows, where it plays havoc, and how it is eliminated Picture Quote #1

When one is innocent of pain, of the havoc it can wreak, one is never cruel. Cruelty is born of pain, of a need to hurt in turn Picture Quote #1

Money is a very powerful thing, which you hardly notice when it goes right, but which can create havoc when it goes wrong Picture Quote #1

Epidemiologists study patterns in order to combat infection. Stories about epidemics follow patterns, too. Stories arent often deadly, but they can be virulent: spreading fast, weakening resistance, wreaking havoc Picture Quote #1

Desire creates havoc when it is the only thing between two people, or when it is what’s missing Picture Quote #1

I’m fascinated by the deaths of stars and the havoc they wreak on their environments Picture Quote #1

We have a very daring and skillful opponent against us, and, may I say across the havoc of war, a great general Picture Quote #1

This revelation of the secrets of nature, long mercifully withheld from man, should arouse the most solemn reflections in the mind and conscience of every human being capable of comprehension. We must indeed pray that these awful agencies will be made to conduce to peace among the nations, and that instead of wreaking measureless havoc upon the entire globe, may become a perennial fountain of world prosperity Picture Quote #1
