Revenge
Quotes - LET THE FLAMES BEGIN!
“You
think I don’t know pain?” Puck shook his head at me. “Or loss? I’ve been around
a lot longer than you, prince! I know what love is, and I’ve lost
my
fair share, too. Just because we have a different way of handling it, doesn’t
mean I don’t have scars of my own.”
“Name
one,” I scoffed. “Give me one instance where you haven’t—”
“Meghan
Chase!” Puck roared, startling me into silence. I blinked, and he sneered at
me. “Yeah, your highness. I know what loss is. I’ve loved that
girl
since before she knew me. But I waited. I waited because I didn’t want to lie
about who I was. I wanted her to know the truth before anything else.
So I
waited, and I did my job. For years, I protected her, biding my time, until the
day she went into the Nevernever after her brother. And then you
came
along. And I saw how she looked at you. And for the first time, I wanted to
kill you as much as you wanted to kill me.”

“Vengeance
and retribution require a long time; it is the rule.”
―
Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
“It
is always better
to
avenge dear ones than to indulge in mourning.
For
every one of us, living in this world
means
waiting for our end. Let whoever can
win
glory before death. When a warrior is gone,
that
will be his best and only bulwark.”

“I
clench my fists and try not to scream and I tuck my friends in my heart and
revenge
I
think
has
never looked so sweet.”

Tahereh Mafi, Ignite Me
“There
is nothing worse than having an enemy who is a total loser. It's incredibly
frustrating when seeking revenge against one, because you come to the
realization that there is really nothing you can do to make the person's life
worse than it already is. They have nothing to take, there is no way to screw
them over if you have been their victim. It's maddening.”

“Darkness...
When everything that you know and love... is taken from you so harshly... all
you can think about is anger, hatred, and even revenge... and no one can save
you.”

“She
was a ray of sunshine, a warm summer rain, a bright fire on a cold winter’s
day, and now she could be dead because she had tried to save the man she
loved.”

take my only exercise acting as a pallbearer at the funerals of my friends who
exercise regularly.”

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

Samantha Young, Blood Will Tell
“Nothing
looked disturbed…yet everything felt that way. The guy was on the bed, calmness
itself, as though he’d decided on a moment’s lie-down and just zizzed off.”

“Revenge
is sweet and not fattening.”

Alfred Hitchcock
“The
best revenge is living well.”

Jerry Seinfeld
“The
person who hurt you--who raped you or killed your family--is also here. If you
are still angry at that person, if you haven't been able to forgive, you are
chained to him. Everyone could feel the emotional truth of that: When someone
offends you and you haven't let go, every time you see him, you grow breathless
or your heart skips a beat. If the trauma was really severe, you dream of
revenge. Above you, is the Mountain of Peace and Prosperity where we all want
to go. But when you try to climb that hill, the person you haven't forgiven
weighs you down. It's a personal choice whether or not to let go. No one can
tell you how long to mourn a death or rage over a rape. But you can't move
forward until you break that chain.”

“My
father wrote: "Always question where your loyalties lie. The people you
trust will expect it, your greatest enemies will desire it, and those you
treasure the most, will, without fail, abuse it.”
