Repulsive Quotations
The irrational in the human has something about it altogether repulsive and terrible, as we see in the maniac, the miser, the drunkard or the ape. George Santayana I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human. David Bowie There is not a more repulsive spectacle than on old man who will not forsake the world, which has already forsaken him. T. S. Eliot In high school I was the dog, always, and I never have felt comfortable or right in my body, and part of my whole exhibitionist thing has probably been a way of testing to see whether or not I really was this repulsive creature that I felt like for so long. Poppy Z. Brite Even the highest forms of sacrificial worship present much that is repulsive to modern ideas, and in particular it requires an effort to reconcile our imagination to the bloody ritual which is prominent in almost every religion which has a strong sense of sin. William Robertson Smith |
