Jean Renoir quote: "The really terrible thing is that everyone has his reasons."
The really terrible thing is that everyone has his reasons. Jean Renoir
I tell you, commander, it's true that some of the most terrible things in the world are done by people who think, genuinely think, that they're doing it for the best, especially if there is some god involved. Terry Prachett
Suffering engenders passion; and while the prosperous blind themselves, or go to sleep, the hatred of the unfortunate classes kindles its torch at some sullen or ill-constituted mind, which is dreaming in a corner, and sets to work to examine society.

Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference. Government cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place. Only a totalitarian society would even claim absolute safety as a worthy ideal, because it would require total state control over its citizen? lives. Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and a false government security blanket... Ron Paul
It was a terrible thing to undergo, but during the year I stood there I had time to think that the greatest loss I had known was the loss of my heart.

L. Frank Baum

He's not the finest character that ever lived. But he's a human being, and a terrible thing is happening to him. So attention must be paid. Arthur Miller
Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fantasies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them. Hypatia
I think that every year that the New York City Ballet is alive is worthy of celebration. Because otherwise the terrible thing is just that we take it for granted. John Guare
I'm not denying that monopolies are terrible things, but I am denying that it is readily easy to resolve them through legislation of that nature. Alan Greenspan
If a politician murders his mother, the first response of the press or of his opponents will likely be not that it was a terrible thing to do, but rather that in a statement made six years before he had gone on record as being opposed to matricide. Meg Greenfield
Remy de Gourmont quote: "The terrible thing about the quest for truth is that you find it."
The terrible thing about the quest for truth is that you find it. Remy de Gourmont
