Shocks

Famous quotes containing the word shocks:

    The end will come quickly, my love. There is a pain beyond pain, an agony so intense it shocks the mind into instant oblivion. We’ll find immortality together, for they’ll remember me through you.
    Crane Wilbur (1889–1973)

    Vice, in its true light, is so deformed, that it shocks us at first sight; and would hardly ever seduce us, if it did not at first wear the mask of some virtue.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Order is Heaven’s first law; and this confessed,
    Some are, and must be, greater than the rest,
    More rich, more wise; but who infers from hence
    That such are happier, shocks all common sense.
    Condition, circumstance, is not the thing;
    Bliss is the same in subject or in king.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
