Quotes:

'I did not see the whole. I only saw this rock ahead of me; I only saw this poisonous snake which I had to kill in order to take the next step. I only saw the problem directly in front of me. If I had seen the whole thing, I would have been too overwhelmed to have attempted this.'
View quotes by Henry Morton Stanley

Only the people involved, me and him, knew the truth. In those situatoins the real you comes out. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. You forgive and move on [on Sven's affair]
View quotes by Nancy Dell'Olio

I did not kill my father, but I sometimes felt I had helped him on his way. And but for the fact that it coincided with a landmark in my own physical growth, his death seemed insignificant compared to what followed. [The Cement Garden]
View quotes by Ian McEwan

Or what Mr. O' Bannon, are you going to kick my ass? I've read all about your ridiculous escapades. So, how does it feel to kill a Mummy with your bare hands? Only a nation of uneducated rednecks would believe such cowboy drivel.
View quotes by Aiden Gillen

It takes far less courage to kill yourself than it takes to make yourself wake up one more time. It's harder to stay where you are than to get out.
View quotes by Judith Rossner

Managing is like holding a dove in your hand. Squeeze too hard and you kill it, not hard enough and it flies away.
View quotes by Tommy Lasorda

The main focus in my life now is to open people's minds so no one will be so conceited that they think they have the total truth. They should be eager to learn, to listen, to research and not to confine, to hurt, to kill, those who disagree with them.
View quotes by John Templeton

As long as man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings he will never know health or peace. For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other.
View quotes by Pythagoras

People in the Pentagon had colleagues killed and maimed by bin Laden. They're trying to find bin Laden and kill him and his cult. Naturally they consider that a legitimate thing to do, but they're having mixed success at the job.
View quotes by Bruce Sterling

His game embraced a contempt for his fate, a fomaing fury, because to him cricket was a game of kill or be killed, a street fighter in which it was left to the umpires to keep peace [on Viv Richards]
View quotes by Peter Roebuck

I found it funny because the left-back was kicking people and ready to fight everybody. I told Steve Clarke 'he will kill him' and before I'd finished he did. Yes, funny [on Shevchenko being fouled]
View quotes by Jose Mourinho

The contrast couldn't be clearer between the intentions and the hearts of those of us who care deeply about human rights and human liberty and those who kill. [on the terrorist bombings in London, July 7, 2005]
View quotes by George W Bush

One does not kill oneself for love of a woman, but because love - any love - reveals us in our nakedness, our misery, our vulnerability, our nothingness.
View quotes by Cesare Pavese

People are disturbed enough by serial killers, but the whole notion of female violence, particularly maternal violence - the idea of mothers who kill - really unnerves people.
View quotes by Caleb Carr

This people draws its origin from Abraham, our father in faith The very people that received from God the commandment 'Thou shalt not kill' itself experienced in a special measure what is meant by killing. It is not permissible for anyone to pass by this inscription with indifference.
View quotes by Pope John Paul II

I hate draws - draws kill you
View quotes by Paul Sturrock

Kill me now. I can't face another three months of haggling between Tony Blair and Michael Howard over who will be tougher on immigrants and disability benefits. Another thirteen weeks of flying pigs, Fagin-flaunting and 'Forward, Not Back'? Pass the noose. [on the 2005 election campaign]
View quotes by Johann Hari

I said to this priest: 'Am I expected to believe that if I went out and had an affair that God was really going to be upset? Okay, thou shalt not kill... steal... but thou shalt not commit adultery? If no one is any the wiser, what the hell difference does it make?' He was lovely. He told me the Commandments were laid down for a lot of guys living in the desert
View quotes by Diana Dors

Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so. For, those, whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow. Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
View quotes by John Donne

The creative person, the person who moves from an irrational source of power, has to face the fact that this power antagonizes. Under all the superficial praise of the 'creative' is the desire to kill. It is the old war between the mystic and the nonmystic, a war to the death.
