Fury Quotations
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. William Shakespeare Hell hath no fury like a bureaucrat scorned. Milton Friedman Hell hath no fury like a hustler with a literary agent. Frank Sinatra Conventional people are roused to fury by departure from convention, largely because they regard such departure as a criticism of themselves. Bertrand Russell The enemy fought with savage fury, and met death with all its horrors, without shrinking or complaining: not one asked to be spared, but fought as long as they could stand or sit. Davy Crockett Hell hath no fury like a liberal scorned. Dick Gregory Fury itself supplies arms. Virgil I will indulge my sorrows, and give way to all the pangs and fury of despair. Joseph Addison Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned. William Congreve The crowd, still shouting, gives way before us. We plough our way through. Women hold their aprons over their faces and go stumbling away. A roar of fury goes up. A wounded man is being carried off. Erich Maria Remarque |
