A surging, seething, murmuring crowd of beings that are human only in name, for to the eye and ear they seem naught but savage creatures, animated by vile passions and by the lust of vengeance and of hate.
Baroness Orczy
Around 1980, I went back to painting with a vengeance.
Martin Mull
At an age when most actresses are being phased out, I am being phased in - with a vengeance.
Candice Bergen
But I find the best things I do, I do when I'm trying to avoid doing something else I'm supposed to be doing. You know, you're working on something. You get bugged, or you lose your enthusiasm or something. So you turn to something else with an absolute vengeance.
Norton Juster
Deep vengeance is the daughter of deep silence.
Vittorio Alfieri
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell.
William Tecumseh Sherman
I have the feeling that this Moscow Pact will at some time or other exact vengeance upon National Socialism.
Alfred Rosenberg
If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared.
Niccolo Machiavelli
In theory it may seem all right to some, but when it comes to being made the instrument of the Lord's vengeance, I myself don't like it.
Robert Gould Shaw
It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.
William Tecumseh Sherman
Just vengeance does not call for punishment.
Pierre Corneille
Men ought either to be indulged or utterly destroyed, for if you merely offend them they take vengeance, but if you injure them greatly they are unable to retaliate, so that the injury done to a man ought to be such that vengeance cannot be feared.
Niccolo Machiavelli
My husband is a fall-away Catholic, but with a vengeance. He's actually more of a feminist than I am.
Olympia Dukakis
On wrongs swift vengeance waits.
Alexander Pope
Our situation today shows that beauty demands for itself at least as much courage and decision as do truth and goodness, and she will not allow herself to be separated and banned from her two sisters without taking them along with herself in an act of mysterious vengeance.
Hans Urs von Balthasar
Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged.
Samuel Johnson
The injury that we do to a man must be such that we need not fear his vengeance.
Steve Perry
The thirst for vengeance was the beautiful nature which Homer imitated.
Johann G. Hamann
Vengeance is not the point; change is. But the trouble is that in most people's minds the thought of victory and the thought of punishing the enemy coincide.
Barbara Deming
When critics sit in judgment it is hard to tell where justice leaves off and vengeance begins.
