George Eliot Quotes

A man who makes trouble for others is also making trouble for himself.

Punishment is lame, but it comes.

If you have done terrible things, you must endure terrible things; for thus the sacred light of injustice shines bright.

I have always thought the suicide should bump off at least one swine before taking off for parts unknown.

If you hate somebody, it's like a boomerang that misses its target and comes back and hits you in the head. The one who hates is the one who hurts.

He who makes another powerful ruins himself.

Treachery and violence are spears pointed at both ends; they wound those who resort to them worse than their enemies.

Such is the moral construction of the world that no national crime passes unpunished in the long run... Were present oppressors to reflect on the same truth, they would spare to their own countries the penalties on their present wrongs which will be inflicted on them in future times. The seeds of hatred and revenge which they sow with a large hand will not fail to produce their fruits in time. Like their brother robbers on the highway, they suppose the escape of the moment a final escape and deem infamy and future risk countervailed by present gain.

Thomas hated the people who'd taken this poor, innocent kid form his family. He hated them with a passion he didn't know a human could feel. He wanted them dead, tortured, even. He wanted Chuck to be happy. But happiness had been ripped form their lives. Love had been ripped from their lives.

Revenge, the sweetest morsel to the mouth that ever was cooked in hell.

It is a persistent evil to persecute a man who belongs to the grace of God. It is a calamity without remedy to hate the happy.

Hatred is blind; rage carries you away; and he who pours out vengeance runs the risk of tasting a bitter draught.

By retaliating our sufferings on the heads of those we love, we get rid of a present uneasiness and incur lasting remorse. With the accomplishment of our revenge our fondness returns; so that we feel the injury we have done them, even more than they do.

We will pursue them until they lose their nerves... Now that they have indulged in their evil and crimes, they will suffer a defeat.

Often does hatred hurt itself.

The passion for revenge should never blind you to the pragmatics of the situation. There are some people who are so blighted by their past, so warped by experience and the pull of that silken cord, that they never free themselves of the shadows that live in the time machine... And if there is a kind thought due them, it may be found contained in the words of the late Gerald Kersh, who wrote:"... there are men whom one hates until a certain moment when one sees, through a chink in their armour, the writhing of something nailed down and in torment.
