Complaint Quotations
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.
Sigmund Freud
A broken heart is a very pleasant complaint for a man in London if he has a comfortable income.
George Bernard Shaw
As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.
Helen Keller
May not the complaint, that common people are above their station, often take its rise in the fact of uncommon people being below theirs?
Charles Dickens
No complaint... is more common than that of a scarcity of money.
Adam Smith
People understand me so poorly that they don't even understand my complaint about them not understanding me.
Soren Kierkegaard
First love is a kind of vaccination which saves a man from catching the complaint the second time.
Honore de Balzac
A little less complaint and whining, and a little more dogged work and manly striving, would do us more credit than a thousand civil rights bills.
W. E. B. Du Bois
The usual fortune of complaint is to excite contempt more than pity.
Samuel Johnson
