Agony Quotes

Walt Whitman quote: "Agonies are one of my changes of garments."
Agonies are one of my changes of garments. Walt Whitman
Charles Bukowski quote: "agony sometimes changes formbut it never ceases foranybody."
agony sometimes changes formbut it never ceases foranybody. Charles Bukowski
The diabolical thing about melancholy is not that it makes you ill but that it makes you conceited and shortsighted; yes almost arrogant. You lapse into bad taste, thinking of yourself as Heine's Atlas, whose shoulders support all the world's puzzles and agonies, as if thousands, lost in the same maze, did not endure the same agonies. Herman Hesse
What was the difference between love and the agony of waiting? Like love, the agony of waiting began in the muscles and somewhere around the upper belly but soon spread out to the chest, the thighs, and the forehead, to invade the entire body with numbing force. Orhan Pamuk
The agony of breaking through personal limitations is the agony of spiritual growth. Art, literature, myth and cult, philosophy, and ascetic disciplines are instruments to help the individual past his limiting horizons into spheres of ever-expanding realization. As he crosses threshold after threshold, conquering dragon after dragon, the stature of the divinity that he summons to his highest wish increases, until it subsumes the cosmos. Finally, the mind breaks the bounding sphere of the... Joseph Campbell
Jeffrey Archer quote: "When a book comes out I wonder if one person will buy it. It's..."
When a book comes out I wonder if one person will buy it. It's agony. Of course it's stupid, but it's agony. Jeffrey Archer
Kurt Vonnegut quote: "A writer off-guard since the materials with which he works are..."
A writer off-guard since the materials with which he works are so dangerous can expect agony as quick as a thunderclap. Kurt Vonnegut
Anger was a reliable defense, but one that allowed no chance of final victory. Anger was a medicine but never a cure, briefly numbing the pain without extracting the thorn that caused the agony. Dean Koontz
It was, at last, real life, with my heart safe and condemned to die of happy love in the joyful agony of any day after my hundredth birthday. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Rumi quote: "The Prophets accept all agony and trust it. For the water has..."
The Prophets accept all agony and trust it. For the water has never feared the fire. Rumi
O Dionysus, Son of God, do you see our sufferings? Do you see your faithful in helpless agony before the oppressor? O Lord, come down from Olympus, shake your golden thyrsus and stifle the murderer's insolent fury. Euripides
How strange was the relation between parents and children! When they were small the parents doted on them, passed through agonies of apprehension at each childish ailment, and the children clung to their parents with love and adoration; a few years passed, the children grew up, and persons not of their kin were more important to their happiness than father or mother. Indifference displaced the blind and instinctive love of the past. Their meetings were a source of boredom and irritation.... W. Somerset Maugham
I have seen war. I have seen war on land and sea. I have seen blood running from the wounded. I have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. I have seen the dead in the mud. I have seen cities destroyed. I have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. I have seen children starving. I have seen the agony of mothers and wives. I hate war. Franklin D. Roosevelt
Euripides quote: "Pay special attention to their agony so I might take some..."
Pay special attention to their agony so I might take some pleasure. Euripides
Garraty wondered how it would be, to lie in the biggest, dustiest library silence of all, dreaming endless, thoughtless dreams behind your gummed-down eyelids, dressed forever in your Sunday suit. No worries about money, success, fear, joy, pain, sorrow, sex, or love. Absolute zero. No father, mother, girlfriend, lover. The dead are orphans. No company but the silence like a moth's wing. An end to the agony of movement, to the long nightmare of going down the road. The body in peace,... Stephen King
