Purge Quotations
Anorexia, you starve yourself. Bulimia, you binge and purge. You eat huge amounts of food until you're sick and then you throw up. And anorexia, you just deny yourself. It's about control.
Tracey Gold
I have also been attacked by my opponents as someone seeking to purge university faculties of leftist professors. This is false. The first provision of the Academic Bill of Rights is that no professor should be hired or fired because of his or her political views. I have never myself called for the firing of any professor for his or her political views, nor would I.
David Horowitz
The more we can purge ourselves of the diseases we create the more we can become magnificent people.
Judith Light
I needed to purge myself of all the attention my parents had given me - I wasn't neglected enough as a child.
Don Van Vliet
The urge to purge the material I come up with is, I guess, an ongoing process.
Kathryn Bigelow
I do think I was trying to entertain the reader more than I was trying to purge myself.
Curtis Sittenfeld
The Indians, I was now speaking of, were not content with the common Enemies that lessen and destroy their Country-men, but invented an infallible Stratagem to purge their Tribe, and reduce their Multitude into far less Numbers.
John Lawson
With the first act of cruelty committed in the name of revolution, with the first murder, with the first purge and execution, we have lost the revolution.
Kate Millett
