Famous quotes containing the words torture and/or murder:
“He has outsoared the shadow of our night;
Envy and calumny and hate and pain,
And that unrest which men miscall delight,
Can touch him not and torture not again;
From the contagion of the world’s slow stain
He is secure, and now can never mourn
A heart grown cold, a head grown grey in vain.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“You who led me by the nose,
I saw you as you were.
Then I thought of your body
as one thinks of murder . . .”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
