Shock Quotes

Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime Picture Quote #1

If our education had included training to bear unpleasantness and to let the first shock pass until we could think more calmly, many an unbearable situation would become manageable, and many a nervous illness avoided. There is proverb expressing this. It says, trouble is a tunnel thorough which we pass and not a brick wall against which we must break our head Picture Quote #1

To see a lot of the smaller labels disappear or get gobbled up by the bigger labels, that’s a shame. It was a bit of a shock at first to see the demise of the record stores Picture Quote #1

I rarely get recognised. It’s always a shock when someone notices me. I always think they must be confusing me with someone else Picture Quote #1

Young kids should be doing music that has shock value. They’ll grow out of it Picture Quote #1

The free market allowed shock jocks to flourish, and millions of listeners apparently enjoyed the rant Picture Quote #1

It’s one of the functions of the theater to shock and titillate and appall, apart from entertain and delight Picture Quote #1

There you are, diligently swimming a straight line, minding the form of your strokes, when you look up and see, always a shock, the currents you can’t even feel have pulled you off course Picture Quote #1

From a tale one expects a bit of wildness, of exaggeration and dramatic effect. The tale has no inherent concern with decorum, balance or harmony... A tale may not display a great deal of structural, psychological, or narrative sophistication, though it might possess all three, but it seldom takes its eye off its primary goal, the creation of a particular emotional state in its reader. Depending on the tale, that state could be wonder, amazement, shock, terror, anger, anxiety, melancholia, or the momentary frisson of horror Picture Quote #1

You see. No shock. No engulfment. No tearing assunder. What you feared would come like an explosion is like a whisper. What you thought was the end is the beginning Picture Quote #1

His was not the hatred that arises suddenly like a storm and as suddenly abates. It was, once the initial shock of anger and pain was over, a calculated thing that grew in a bloodless way Picture Quote #1

When he kisses me, I cry. I explain it’s not because I wish he were someone else, it’s because it’s such a shock to the system to be desired after feeling so completely abandoned Picture Quote #1

I finally accept that not only do I not understand the death of my relationship, but I do not need to. These men were good and kind to me, they loved me and I loved them back and the shock at the finish holds no wisdom. The revelation is not that I lost them, but that I had them Picture Quote #1

There is only one kind of shock worse than the totally unexpected: the expected for which one has refused to prepare Picture Quote #1

This may come as a shock to some of you, but I have a slightly volatile personality. I don’t suffer fools well Picture Quote #1

I’ve always considered myself a good person. I’ve never done anything to purposely hurt anyone. I was in shock that this happened to me, and because it did, I turned into this vengeful person. I’ve never truly hated anyone, but I was glad when I saw him lying there on the floor Picture Quote #1

I think it can be fun to be single and date like when you don’t want a relationship. Or when you’ve just gotten out of a relationship, and, after get over the initial shock, you’re thinking, hey, it’s kind of cool being single Picture Quote #1

Future shock is the disorientation that affects an individual, a corporation, or a country when he or it is overwhelmed by change and the prospect of change... we are in collision with tomorrow Picture Quote #1

It’s actually come as quite a shock to learn just how many people don’t like me Picture Quote #1

It would not lessen the shock and concern, but it would be something concrete in addition to the apologies Picture Quote #1

Going into that race I was going for the world record, just quietly, but I wasn’t feeling at my best all week so it was hard to determine what would happen. I could not believe it, I went into shock, I’m still in shock Picture Quote #1

Perhaps passing through the gates of death is like passing quietly through the gate in a pasture fence. On the other side, you keep walking, without the need to look back. No shock, no drama, just the lifting of a plank or two in a simple wooden gate in a clearing. Neither pain, nor floods of light, nor great voices, but just the silent crossing of a meadow Picture Quote #1

I am out to introduce a psychic shock into my painting, one that is always motivated by pictorial reasoning: that is to say, a fourth dimension Picture Quote #1

It was as if nothing quite erased the initial shock of being kissed by someone who was not hers, a kiss that was stolen, claimed from her flippantly, a kiss so abrasively illicit that she seemed to deserve it, as though she was not worth much to begin with Picture Quote #1

A key impact of recent events was a very persistent, if not permanent shock in the oil supply. This was caused as the oil industry hit geological boundaries, which meant that it could no longer maintain the historic growth rates in petroleum extraction Picture Quote #1

When I say that a good picture has surprise quality or shock appeal, I do not mean that it is a loud or vulgar picture but, instead, that it stimulates my thinking and intrigues me Picture Quote #1

This is what holidays, travels, vacations are about. It is not really rest or even leisure we chase. We strain to renew our capacity for wonder to shock ourselves into astonishment once again Picture Quote #1

When a person you love moves by you with flat eyes that will not see you, it is a shock to believe it Picture Quote #1

I even had breasts that had mechanisms that could make them droop. It was a shock in the beginning. Talk about special effects! Picture Quote #1

I’ve been offered nymphomaniacs, kleptomaniacs, pyromaniacs, homicidal maniacs and just plain maniacs. I think producers felt that after playing a long series of noble and admirable characters there would be quite a lot of shock value in seeing me play something altogether different. But I prefer upbeat stories that send people out of the theater feeling better than they did coming in. It’s my cup of tea Picture Quote #1
