Appalling Quotes

There is a sacred horror about everything grand. It is easy to admire mediocrity and hills; but whatever is too lofty, a genius as well as a mountain, an assembly as well as a masterpiece, seen too near, is appalling Picture Quote #1

It was both fascinating and appalling to learn that chimpanzees were capable of hostile and territorial behavior that was not unlike certain forms of primitive human warfare Picture Quote #1

I believe man suffers from an appalling ignorance of his own nature. I produce my own view in the belief that it may be something like the truth Picture Quote #1

Existence was not only absurd, it was plain hard work. Think of how many times you put on your underwear in a lifetime. It was appalling, it was disgusting, it was stupid Picture Quote #1

In no other profession are the penalties for employing untrained personnel so appalling or so irrevocable as in the military Picture Quote #1

Cheats, liars and criminals may resist every blandishment while respectable gentlemen have been moved to appalling treasons by watery cabbage in a departmental canteen Picture Quote #1

We build but to tear down. Most of our work and resource is squandered. Our onward march is marked by devastation. Everywhere there is an appalling loss of time, effort and life. A cheerless view, but true Picture Quote #1

It is an awful, an appalling thought, that we may be, this moment and every moment, in the presence of malignant spirits Picture Quote #1

You have to steer a course between not appalling people, but at the same time not misleading them Picture Quote #1

History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it Picture Quote #1

We need to recognise that what really matters isn’t buying more and more consumer goods, but family, friends, and knowing that we are doing something worthwhile with our lives. Helping to reduce the appalling consequences of world poverty should be part of that reassessment Picture Quote #1

Our instinct may be to see the impossibility of tracking everything down as frustrating, dispiriting, perhaps even appalling, but it can just as well be viewed as almost unbearably exciting. We live on a planet that has a more or less infinite capacity to surprise. What reasoning person could possibly want it any other way? Picture Quote #1

When I want to render these fine nuances, I do not find them in the subject, but in the nature of women in real life who seek unhealthy emotions and are too stupid even to understand the horror in the most appalling situations Picture Quote #1

This is appalling. The idea that a person could be punished because of their religious belief and the idea they might be executed is just beyond belief Picture Quote #1

I don’t know where to begin with that one... the final episode is… appalling Picture Quote #1

Labour’s appalling agenda, encouraging the teaching of homosexuality in schools, and all the rest of it Picture Quote #1

Drink, in those days, was an evil inconceivable in ours. The fearful uncertainty of life, unemployment, the appalling squalor of slums, drove millions of the weaker nerve to drink Picture Quote #1

There is no point in being overwhelmed by the appalling total of human suffering; such a total does not exist. Neither poverty nor pain is accumulable Picture Quote #1

The writer’s greed is appalling. He wants, or seems to want, everything and practically everybody, in another sense, and at the same time, he needs no one at all Picture Quote #1

No matter how piercing and appalling his insights, the desolation creeping over his outer world, the lurid lights and shadows of his inner world, the writer must live with hope, work in faith Picture Quote #1

I’m in total sympathy with Dick Smith’s sentiments; I only wish there were grounds for saying we Australians would never tolerate such appalling treatment of refugees being carried out in our name Picture Quote #1

I’m the end of the line; absurd and appalling as it may seem, serious New York theater has died in my lifetime Picture Quote #1

The anti-blackness has generated new forms of youth involvement in anti-whiteness, which in some cases is appalling Picture Quote #1

The horror of wedlock, the most appalling, the most loathsome of all the bonds humankind has devised for its own discomfort and degradation Picture Quote #1

Whenever anything nice happens in the world I always expect something appalling to happen immediately afterwards Picture Quote #1

The wind is the appalling enemy. It is mind-destroying, physically-destroying, soul-destroying Picture Quote #1

The mediocrity of everything in the great world of today is simply appalling. We live in intellectual slums Picture Quote #1

It is quite amazing how hard the subconscious works when it is made to understand that this life is not a rehearsal, there is no safety net and no assurance of any final closure. It is also quite appalling to realize how catatonic the imagination can become when we hedge our bets, opt for the safer direction at every fork in the path Picture Quote #1

What is most appalling in an F. Scott Fitzgerald book is that it is peopleless fiction: Fitzgerald writes about spectral, muscledsuits; dresses, hats, and sleeves which have some sort of vague, libidinous throb. These are plainly the product of sickness Picture Quote #1
