    An eye for an eye.”

  • Revenge Quote #4

    And so we know the satisfaction of hate. We know the sweet joy of revenge. How it feels good to get even. Oh, that was a nice idea Jesus had. That was a pretty notion, but you can't love people who do evil. It's neither sensible or practical. It's not wise to the world to love people who do such terrible wrong. There is no way on earth we can love our enemies. They'll only do wickedness and hatefulness again. And worse, they'll think they can get away with this wickedness and evil, because they'll think we're weak and afraid. What would the world come to?

    But I want to say to you here on this hot July morning in Holt, what if Jesus wasn't kidding? What if he wasn't talking about some never-never land? What if he really did mean what he said two thousand years ago? What if he was thoroughly wise to the world and knew firsthand cruelty and wickedness and evil and hate? Knew it all so well from personal firsthand experience? And what if in spite of all that he knew, he still said love your enemies? Turn your cheek. Pray for those who misuse you. What if he meant every word of what he said? What then would the world come to?

    And what if we tried it? What if we said to our enemies: We are the most powerful nation on earth. We can destroy you. We can kill your children. We can make ruins of your cities and villages and when we're finished you won't even know how to look for the places where they used to be. We have the power to take away your water and to scorch your earth, to rob you of the very fundamentals of life. We can change the actual day into actual night. We can do these things to you. And more.

    But what if we say, Listen: Instead of any of these, we are going to give willingly and generously to you. We are going to spend the great American national treasure and the will and the human lives that we would have spent on destruction, and instead we are going to turn them all toward creation. We'll mend your roads and highways, expand your schools, modernize your wells and water supplies, save your ancient artifacts and art and culture, preserve your temples and mosques. In fact, we are going to love you. And again we say, no matter what has gone before, no matter what you've done: We are going to love you. We have set our hearts to it. We will treat you like brothers and sisters. We are going to turn our collective national cheek and present it to be stricken a second time, if need be, and offer it to you. Listen, we--

    But then he was abruptly halted.

  • Revenge Quote #5

    And thus to my final and most melancholy point: a great number of Stalin's enforcers and henchmen in Eastern Europe were Jews. And not just a great number, but a great proportion. The proportion was especially high in the secret police and 'security' departments, where no doubt revenge played its own part, as did the ideological attachment to Communism that was so strong among internationally minded Jews at that period: Jews like David Szmulevski. There were reasonably strong indigenous Communist forces in Czechoslovakia and East Germany, but in Hungary and Poland the Communists were a small minority and knew it, were dependent on the Red Army and aware of the fact, and were disproportionately Jewish and widely detested for that reason. Many of the penal labor camps constructed by the Nazis were later used as holding pens for German deportees by the Communists, and some of those who ran these grim places were Jewish. Nobody from Israel or the diaspora who goes to the East of Europe on a family-history fishing-trip should be unaware of the chance that they will find out both much less and much more than the package-tour had promised them. It's easy to say, with Albert Camus, 'neither victims nor executioners.' But real history is more pitiless even than you had been told it was.

    Christopher Hitchens

  • Revenge Quote #6

    And what sort of choice is fall in love with me, or you’re a pig?”
    “Justice.” Lizzie twirled a lock of hair around her little finger.

  • Revenge Quote #7

    And you, you better run because i'm going to destroy you for what you've taken from me.

  • Revenge Quote #8

    Anger fed him and clothed him and he owed it much.

    Stephen Fry

  • Revenge Quote #9

    Anger is a revenge that can never be controlled.

  • Revenge Quote #10

    Any one war seems rooted in its antecedents.

    T.H. White

  • Revenge Quote #11

    As for Iago’s jealousy, one cannot believe that a seriously jealous man could behave towards his wife as Iago behaves towards Emilia, for the wife of a jealous husband is the first person to suffer. Not only is the relation of Iago and Emilia, as we see it on stage, without emotional tension, but also Emilia openly refers to a rumor of her infidelity as something already disposed of.

    Some such squire it was
    That turned your wit, the seamy side without
    And made you to suspect me with the Moor.

    At one point Iago states that, in order to revenge himself on Othello, he will not rest till he is even with him, wife for wife, but, in the play, no attempt at Desdemona’s seduction is made. Iago does not encourage Cassio to make one, and he even prevents Roderigo from getting anywhere near her.

    Finally, one who seriously desires personal revenge desires to reveal himself. The revenger’s greatest satisfaction is to be able to tell his victim to his face – You thought you were all-powerful and untouchable and could injure me with impunity. Now you see that you were wrong. Perhaps you have forgotten what you did; let me have the pleasure of reminding you.

    When at the end of the play, Othello asks Iago in bewilderment why he has thus ensnared his soul and body, if his real motive were revenge for having been cuckolded or unjustly denied promotion, he could have said so, instead of refusing to explain.

    W.H. Auden

  • Revenge Quote #12

    As hard as my life has been I have no desire for revenge. If I wish for anything it is for all the things that have been stolen from my life to be returned to me.

    Pramoedya Ananta Toer

  • Revenge Quote #13

    As he fills me, I wonder if—in the same way that sex makes its own unique perfume—we don’t really “make” love. As in create, manufacture, evoke an independent element in the air around us, and if enough of us did it really well, for real, not just for the hell of it, we could change the world. Because when he’s in me, I feel the space around us changing, charging, and it seems to set off some kind of feedback loop, where the more he touches me, the more I need him to. Having sex with Barrons sates my need. Then feeds it. Sates, then feeds. It’s a never-ending cycle. I get out of bed with him, frantic to be back in it again. And I—

    “—hated you for it,” he says gently.

    That was my line.

    “I never get enough, Mac. Drives me bug-fuck. I should kill you for what you make me feel.”

    I understand perfectly. He is my vulnerability. I would become Shiva, the world-eater, for him.

    Karen Marie Moning

  • Revenge Quote #14

    As readers, we are seldom interested in the fine sentiments of a lesson learnt; we seldom care about the good manners of morals. Repentance puts an end to conversation; forgiveness becomes the stuff of moralistic tracts. Revenge - bloodthirsty, justice-hungry revenge - is the very essence of romance, lying at the heart of much of the best fiction.

    Alberto Manguel

  • Revenge Quote #15

    At the same time, the thought of Gisela suffering at Ruexner's hands sent ice water through his veins, along with a stab of guilt. If Gisela should suffer pain or distress at Ruexner's hands, it would be his fault. Ruexner had only taken her because of his hatred for Valten. God, I must save her. I must not fail.

  • Revenge Quote #16

    At this hour
    Lie at my mercy all mine enemies.

    William Shakespeare

  • Revenge Quote #17

    Before I sought truth. Now I seek justice.

    Sophie Jordan

  • Revenge Quote #18

    Before you take that first curious, coerced, spiteful, or vengeful step forward, remember this: it’s a thousand times easier to slip into a muddy pit than it is to climb out of one.

    Richelle E. Goodrich

  • Revenge Quote #19

    Being nice to someone who did you foul in the past is kinda like a mature way of getting revenge because it sometimes confuses the hell out of them & brings them to the realization that they no longer can manipulate your emotions with their actions...something they thought they'd always be able to do.

    David Reeves

  • Revenge Quote #20

    Beware pride; it would have us seek revenge from those most deserving of our pity.

    Wayne Gerard Trotman

  • Revenge Quote #21

    Birinden intikam alacak güce ve imkana sahip oldugumuzda, aslinda intikam almis kadar oluyorduk ve rahatliyorduk. Bu rahatligin büyümesine izin verirsek, intikam almanin stresine hiç katlanmak zorunda kalmiyorduk. Belki de mesele güçteydi. O güce sahip olma amaciyla yasiyorduk, güce sahip oldugumuzda da tüm hirsimiz sönüyordu.

    Mithat Terje

  • Revenge Quote #22

    Books have a unique way of stopping time in a particular moment and saying: Let’s not forget this.

    Dave Eggers

  • Revenge Quote #23

    Bread and water will not break me, and if you choose to isolate me, I shall have only but more time to plot against my oppressors.

    J.V. Hart

  • Revenge Quote #24

    Brie's expiration date on revenge was never.

    H.M. Ward

  • Revenge Quote #26

    Burn them all, little dragon.

    Rhiannon Thomas

  • Revenge Quote #27

    But I want to be better than the lessons they taught me. I want my love to be greater that my hate, my mercy to be stronger than my vengeance.

    Amy Engel

  • Revenge Quote #28

    But I was still determined to protect her. It might be the one good thing I would ever do in my life. I wondered if God would even notice.

    Steven Ramirez

  • Revenge Quote #29

    But I won't bore you any longer on the subject of old men. It won't make things any better and all my plans of revenge (such as disconnecting the lamp, shutting the door, hiding his clothes) must be abandoned in order to keep the peace. Oh, I'm becoming so sensible! ...

    Anne Frank

  • Revenge Quote #30

    But if you seek forgiveness, doesn't that automatically mean you cannot be a monster? By definition, doesn't that desperation make you human again?

    Jodi Picoult
