Torments Quotes

History is the most dangerous product which the chemistry of the mind has concocted. Its properties are well known. It produces dreams and drunkenness. It fills people with false memories, exaggerates their reactions, exacerbates old grievances, torments them in their repose, and encourages either a delirium of grandeur or a delusion of persecution. It makes whole nations bitter, arrogant, insufferable and vainglorious Picture Quote #1

What seems to be, is, to those to whom it seems to be, and is productive of the most dreadful consequences to those to whom it seems to be, even of torments, despair, eternal death Picture Quote #1

Pain is superficial, and therefore fear is. The torments of martyrdoms are probably most keenly felt by the by-standers Picture Quote #1

I think in every picture that I’ve ever made. Everything that I’ve done torments me. I really would like another chance except I’d be too embarrassed to ever really try to do them again and no one would want to see the same movie just done differently Picture Quote #1

The difficulty over the question of eternal torments lies in how it is irreconcilable with the Goodness of God Picture Quote #1

They smiled in their pains and laughed to scorn those who inflicted torments on them, resigned up their souls with great alacrity, expecting to receive them again Picture Quote #1

Confounded, though immortal. But his doom, reserved him to more wrath; for now the thought both of lost happiness and lasting pain torments him Picture Quote #1

Man is so muddled, so dependent on the things immediately before his eyes, that every day even the most submissive believer can be seen to risk the torments of the afterlife for the smallest pleasure Picture Quote #1

As contraries are known by contraries, so is the delight of presence best known by the torments of absence Picture Quote #1

Some of your griefs you have cured, And the sharpest you still have survived, But what torments of grief you’ve endured From evils that never arrived Picture Quote #1

I had no hope. Yet expectation lived on in me, the last thing she had left behind. What further consummations, mockeries, torments did I still anticipate? I had no idea as I abided in the unshaken belief that the time of cruel wonders was not yet over Picture Quote #1

Nothing will ever equal that moment of joyous excitement which filled my whole being when I felt myself flying away from the earth. It was not mere pleasure; it was perfect bliss. Escaped from the frightful torments of persecution and of calumny, I felt that I was answering all in rising above all Picture Quote #1

Represent to yourself a dark city all burning and stinking with fire and brimstone. The damned are in the depth of hell within this woful city, where they suffer unspeakable torments in all their senses and members. Consider above all the eternity of their pains, which above all things makes hell intolerable Picture Quote #1

A person may say I am not much concerned how long I stay in purgatory, provided I may come to eternal life. Let no one reason thus.

He who is afraid now to put his finger into the fire, does he not fear lest he be then all buried in torments for a long time? Picture Quote #1

Impossible for anyone to conceive the torments of his nights in bed with his beloved one and estranged from her. That turning of backs, that cold space between their two unhappy bodies Picture Quote #1

Some of your grief you have cured, and lived to survive; but what torments of pain have you endured that haven't as yet arrived Picture Quote #1

Leadership is more likely to be assumed by the aggressive than by the able, and those who scramble to the top are more often motivated by their own inner torments Picture Quote #1

Blessed be the man whose work drives him. Something must drive men; and if it is wholesome industry, they have no time for a thousand torments and temptations Picture Quote #1

When we see ourselves in a situation which must be endured and gone through, it is best to make up our minds to it, meet it with firmness, and accommodate everything to it in the best way practicable. This lessens the evil; while fretting and fuming only serves to increase your own torments Picture Quote #1

I do not love you; the former dream of passions and torments has passed by; but your image in my soul is still alive, although it is powerless; although I abandon myself to other dreams, I still cannot forget it; so an abandoned temple is still a temple, a dethroned idol - still a god! Picture Quote #1
