Pitiless Quotes

Nature is cruel and pitiless, so are successful states and people Picture Quote #1

Ambition is pitiless. Any merit that it cannot use it finds despicable Picture Quote #1

Through the damp fabric of my coverall, bundled in my blanket, I feel naked. Raw. He sees more than I want, more than I can bear. It’s like standing before him... while he stares at my scars, pitiless and unmoved Picture Quote #1

The days of the Pentagon Papers debates seem long past, when a sudden transparency yielded insight into fights over war and peace and freedom and security; the transparency afforded by Twitter and Facebook yields insights that extend no further than a lawmaker’s boundless narcissism and a culture’s pitiless prurience Picture Quote #1

When I came to the last line of ‘Car Crash While Hitchhiking,’ I read it as a pitiless statement of indifference: a refusal to warn the family of their impending collision, a refusal to help when miraculously spared, a refusal to act on the empathy hiding behind the story’s language Picture Quote #1

Brief and powerless is man’s life; on him and all his race the slow, sure doom falls pitiless and dark Picture Quote #1

If I could sum up ‘Shadow’s Claim’ in six words: cage fights with hot alpha males. Seriously, though, while the fights are the backdrop for Trehan and Bettina’s love story, the main emphasis is on how Trehan - a pitiless master assassin - wages the ultimate battle to win her heart Picture Quote #1

But that afternoon he asked himself, with his infinite capacity for illusion, if such pitiless indifference might not be a subterfuge for hiding the torments of love Picture Quote #1

Intellect is a fire; rash and pitiless it melts this wonderful bone-house which is called man. Genius even, as it is the greatestgood, is the greatest harm Picture Quote #1

Such is the remorseless progression of human society, shedding lives and souls as it goes on its way. It is an ocean into which men sink who have been cast out by the law and consigned, with help most cruelly withheld, to moral death. The sea is the pitiless social darkness into which the penal system casts those it has condemned, an unfathomable waste of misery. The human soul, lost in those depths, may become a corpse. Who shall revive it? Picture Quote #1

Their pitiless ideology only survives because it is maintained by force. But the day comes when the anger and frustration of the people is so great that force cannot contain it. Then the edifice cracks: the mortar crumbles Picture Quote #1

The vast majority of the race whether savage or civilized, are secretly kind at heart and shrink from inflicting pain, but in the presence of the aggressive and pitiless minority they don’t dare to assert themselves Picture Quote #1

Brief and powerless is man’s life; on him and all his race the slow, sure doom falls pitiless and dark Picture Quote #1

A crown is a pitiless master, harsher than the staff of a pig keeper; while a staff bears up, a crown weighs down, beyond the strength of any man to wear it lightly Picture Quote #1

Nature is pitiless; she never withdraws her flowers, her music, her fragrance, and her sunlight from before human cruelty or suffering Picture Quote #1

Patriotism is as fierce as a fever, pitiless as the grave, blind as a stone, and irrational as a headless hen Picture Quote #1

Boredom is like a pitiless zooming in on the epidermis of time. Every instant is dilated and magnified like the pores of the face Picture Quote #1

Force is as pitiless to the man who possesses it, or thinks he does, as it is to its victims; the second it crushes, the first it intoxicates. The truth is, nobody really possesses it Picture Quote #1

When man deploys the arbitrary nature of his madness, he confronts the dark necessity of the world; the animal that haunts his nightmares and his nights of privation is his own nature, which will lay bare hell’s pitiless truth Picture Quote #1

I have only danced my life. As a child I danced the spontaneous joy of growing things. As an adolescent, I danced with joy turning to apprehension of the first realisation of tragic undercurrents; apprehension of the pitiless brutality and crushing progress of life Picture Quote #1

As gas light is found to be the best nocturnal police, so the universe protects itself by pitiless publicity Picture Quote #1

The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference Picture Quote #1
