Grim Quotations
It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things. Theodore Roosevelt It's rather splendid to think of all those great men and women who appear to have presented symptoms that allow us to describe them as bipolar. Whether it's Hemingway, Van Gogh... Robert Schumann has been mentioned... Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath... some of them with rather grim ends. Stephen Fry All cities are mad: but the madness is gallant. All cities are beautiful: but the beauty is grim. Christopher Morley It was like in Samoa when they'd put up a movie screen on the beach and show movies and the locals would run behind the sheet to see where the people went. It was pretty grim. Dick Wolf My message to you all is of hope, courage and confidence. Let us mobilize all our resources in a systematic and organized way and tackle the grave issues that confront us with grim determination and discipline worthy of a great nation. Muhammad Ali Jinnah The grim fact is that we prepare for war like precocious giants, and for peace like retarded pygmies. Lester B. Pearson I feel sometimes that in children's books there are more and more grim problems, but I don't know that I want to burden third- and fourth-graders with them. Beverly Cleary I never deviated from my grim determination to someday have all the money I needed and wanted. Taylor Caldwell And by the way, I wanted to point out that Kindred is not science fiction. You'll note there's no science in it. It's a kind of grim fantasy. Octavia Butler She has great problems of her own to solve, very grim and perilous problems, and a right solution, if we can attain to it, would largely benefit mankind. Henry Cabot Lodge |
