«I get up in the morning, torture a typewriter until it screams, then stop.»
Author: Clarence B. Kelland (Writer) | Keywords: screams, torture
«Life's the greates torture sould feel in hell, In hell: that they must live, and cannot die.»
Author: John Webster (Playwright, Writer) | About: Death, Hell | Keywords: torture
«Modern man likes to pretend that his thinking is wide-awake. But this wide-awake thinking has led us into the mazes of a nightmare in which the torture chambers are endlessly repeated in the mirrors of reason.»
«Suffering is by no means a privilege, a sign of nobility, a reminder of God. Suffering is a fierce, bestial thing, commonplace, uncalled for, natural as air. It is intangible; no one can grasp it or fight against it; it dwells in time / is the same thing as time; if it comes in fits and starts, that is only so as to leave the sufferer more defenseless during the moments that follow, those long moments when one relives the last bout of torture and waits for the next.»
«People who use their erudition to write for a learned minority... don't seem to me favored by fortune but rather to be pitied for their continuous self-torture. They add, change, remove, lay aside, take up, rephrase, show to their friends, keep for nine years and are never satisfied. And their futile reward, a word of praise from a handful of people, they win at such a cost -- so many late nights, such loss of sleep, sweetest of all things, and so much sweat and anguish... their health deteriorates, their looks are destroyed, they suffer partial or total blindness, poverty, ill-will, denial of pleasure, premature old age and early death.»
«Love is a reciprocal torture.»
Author: Marcel Proust (Author, Novelist) | About: Love | Keywords: reciprocal, torture
«In our nature, however, there is a provision, alike marvelous and merciful, that the sufferer should never know the intensity of what he endures by its present torture, but chiefly by the pang that rankles after it.»
«QUILL, n. An implement of torture yielded by a goose and commonly wielded by an ass. This use of the quill is now obsolete, but its modern equivalent, the steel pen, is wielded by the same everlasting Presence.»
«Judges must beware of hard constructions and strained inferences, for there is no worse torture than that of laws.»
«I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage.»
