Quotes by Steven Moffat

I would not have been interested in doing just a revenge film simply because I have seen so many revenge films right from Clint Eastwood films to Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Zanjeer’, ‘Sholay’ and ‘Ghayal’ and various variants of them.

Quotes by Siobhan Fahey

At night, I try to sneak in some of the shows that I love. I can't live without '30 Rock' - I was a fan before I joined the show in 2007 - and 'The Office.' 'Revenge' is my drama. And I love Jimmy Kimmel if I can stay up late enough to watch him.

Quotes by Sherri Shepherd

Quotes by Sacha Guitry

Justice is revenge.

Quotes by Saad Hariri

I was a Yankee fan in Brooklyn because my father was a Yankee fan. And my father was required to live in Brooklyn with my mother's family, who were all Dodger fans. So he was surrounded by Dodger fans. He was a Yankee fan. So his revenge was to make me a Yankee fan.

Quotes by Rudy Giuliani

I felt so painfully isolated that I vowed I would get revenge on the world by becoming a famous cartoonist.

Quotes by Robert Crumb

Quotes by Rick Perlstein

Lesley Gore's part-time field was pop singer, and in her brief but urgent prime, she was the Queen of Teen Angst.

Quotes by Richard Corliss

Quotes by Richard Ben-Veniste

I have always marveled that so many religions exact such revenge against dissenters. It only weakens the appeal of their faith and contradicts any claims they might have made that 'all religions are basically the same.'

Quotes by Ravi Zacharias

I have always marveled that so many religions exact such revenge against dissenters. It only weakens the appeal of their faith and contradicts any claims they might have made that 'all religions are basically the same.' If all religions were indeed the same, why not let someone be 'converted' to another religion?

Quotes by Ravi Zacharias

Evil is always devising more corrosive misery through man's restless need to exact revenge out of his hate.

Quotes by Ralph Steadman

Revenge is a way of life and definitely some thing that we identify with. We all feel cheated in some way about some thing and how nice it would be to do something about it. I mean ultimately it's not the most Christian of sentiments.

Quotes by Radha Mitchell

To take revenge halfheartedly is to court disaster; either condemn or crown your hatred.

Quotes by Pierre Corneille

Quotes by Pete Gallego

Quotes by Patricia Cornwell

Serial killing is not about sex at all, but about power and control and revenge on society.

Quotes by Pat Brown

The point of revenge is not in the completion but in the process.

Quotes by Park Chan-wook

The way I work is I'll basically become kind of fixated on a very stripped-down genre, like revenge or something like that, and just start layering on top of that and entering in thoughts and ideas, and then the story just kind of builds up that way.

Quotes by Panos Cosmatos

Every critic, every detractor, will have to bow down to President Trump. It's everyone who's ever doubted Donald, who's ever disagreed, whoever challenged him. It is the ultimate revenge to become the most powerful man in the universe.

Quotes by Omarosa Manigault Newman

Because revenge is a very known feeling in American culture, there's a certain element of an eye for an eye. There's the saying, 'Be careful what you wish for, you might get it.' When you wish for revenge, and you think you've gotten it, what happens then? Revenge is just a really good drive for drama and good action.

Quotes by Niels Arden Oplev

Any story about revenge is ultimately a story about forgiveness, redemption, or the futility of revenge.

Quotes by Nick Wechsler

Follow me if I advance! Kill me if I retreat! Revenge me if I die!

Quotes by Ngo Dinh Diem

My father was very disappointed by war and fighting. And he thought language could help us out of cycles of revenge and animosity. And so, as a journalist, he always found himself asking lots of questions and trying to gather information. He was always very clear to underscore the fact that Jewish people and Arab people were brother and sister.

Quotes by Naomi Shihab Nye

I mean, who wants to live waking up... at least I don't want to live waking up everyday about revenge.

Quotes by Mitchell Baker

Brexit and Trump are a generational revenge. This may partly be against millennial certainty and superiority, and, indeed, ageism; and it may be a natural part of population dynamics - not only are more people getting far older than ever before, but they are older for longer than they are young.

Quotes by Michael Wolff

Doom is a classic supervillain, akin to the Phantom of the Opera. It's not about revenge so much as, like, 'I'm back - now watch this!' It all boils down to the music. The mask is a slight theme for people to enjoy, and it adds mystery.

Quotes by MF Doom

No trait is more justified than revenge in the right time and place.

Quotes by Meir Kahane

The earth we abuse and the living things we kill will, in the end, take their revenge; for in exploiting their presence we are diminishing our future.

Quotes by Marya Mannes

Modern love - in the movies and music - especially country music - is full of tales of women exacting sweet revenge on the men who done them wrong.

Quotes by Mary Kay Andrews

Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Lust is to the other passions what the nervous fluid is to life; it supports them all, lends strength to them all ambition, cruelty, avarice, revenge, are all founded on lust.

Quotes by Marquis de Sade

To refrain from imitation is the best revenge.

Marcus Aurelius

Revenge is a sorrow for the person who has to take it on. And the person who is rash enough to think it's going to help a situation is always wrong.

Quotes by Louise Erdrich

The problem with revenge is that it never evens the score. It ties both the injured and the injurer to an escalator of pain. Both are stuck on the escalator as long as parity is demanded, and the escalator never stops.

Quotes by Lewis B. Smedes

For years, people have re-dialed when the line was busy. They waited their turn. When I'm put on hold, I always hope that as my revenge, their other call will be someone wanting to sell them something.

Quotes by Letitia Baldrige

I'm not one to take revenge. If someone does something wrong to me I leave it in the hands of the universe to take care of that person.

Quotes by Lana Parrilla

I do watch 'Revenge,' 'American Horror Story' and 'Game of Thrones.' I am behind on all of them. But I do watch them. Those are my go-to shows.

Quotes by Lana Parrilla

My character Saurabh Singhania is a rich, bad guy who is driven by revenge, so much that you feel like scratching his face or throwing stones at him. The intimate scenes in the trailer are creating quite a buzz... I wish they had shown more of the story instead of the sizzling scenes. The film is not about boldness or intimacy.

Quotes by Karan Singh Grover

It was all about wanting to get revenge. Pathetic, really, but it still is the motivation.

Quotes by Julian Clary

There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness.

Quotes by Josh Billings

You have to be okay with wins and losses. You can't just be looking for the wins and, when the losses happen, you can't buy more and more because you're sure it's going to bounce. We call that revenge trading.

Quotes by Josh Brolin

There is that stereotype of a nerd with the high pants and pocket protector and that kind of thing. That can sustain comedy for maybe a movie - hence the 'Revenge of the Nerds' franchise - but not for hopefully years on the air. It's a sight gag, not a story.

Quotes by Johnny Galecki

I was a socially awkward 8-year-old kid who fell in love with wrestling when he felt like the whole world was against him. That's the key word: love. I don't do this for revenge; I do this because I love it. That's Johnny Wrestling.

Quotes by Johnny Gargano

I think to a certain extent in Bosnia and among the Hutus in Rwanda and also among the Tutsis in Rwanda who then took revenge on the Hutus, there is a sense of being swept up and a sense that the society in which they live has gone mad.

Quotes by John Pomfret

He that studieth revenge keepeth his own wounds green, which otherwise would heal and do well.

John Milton

In human history, the desire for revenge and the desire for loot have often been closely associated.

Quotes by John McCarthy

Revenge proves its own executioner.

Quotes by John Ford

Some wars have been due to the lust of rulers for power and glory, or to revenge to wipe out the humiliation of a former defeat.

Quotes by John Boyd Orr

Some may seek revenge, but this is not our policy.

Quotes by Joe Slovo

They say revenge is a dish best eaten cold, but for most people, by the time it's ready to eat, they just don't fancy it any more.

Quotes by Jo Brand

It is up to God to take revenge. Only God can judge. I don't have to worry about getting even with anybody or taking out any kind of aggression on anybody. Doing that is a weakness, anyway.

Quotes by Jim Brown

Revenge... is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion.

Quotes by Jeremy Taylor

In the free-to-play industry, the most money-making games are often coming from making people fighting against each other and really hating each other and wanting to revenge, so they spend more money to dominate.

Quotes by Jenova Chen

There is nothing funny about Halloween. This sarcastic festival reflects, rather, an infernal demand for revenge by children on the adult world.

Quotes by Jean Baudrillard

From the earliest age, I was just different. I think that's part of every writer's little revenge. You think, 'I'm not a blonde, blue-eyed cheerleader but I'm going to get out of here and do something.'

Quotes by Janine di Giovanni

I was very ambitious. It all started because my first boyfriend dumped me when I was 14. I'd always wanted to be a model and thought, 'Right, he's going to see me everywhere.' I was relentless in my pursuit of modeling. It was revenge.

Quotes by Jane March

My guilty pleasure is 'Revenge.' I've watched it from the very first episode.

Quotes by Jane Elliot

A lot of these types of films - the vigilante or revenge drama - were so popular in the '70s because there was a feeling in the culture of loss of control.

Quotes by James Wan

'Death Sentence' really is a throwback to the '70s style revenge drama with moments of action. It's like a contemporary 'Death Wish' with a much more thriller style storyline, but the action scenes I shot very much in the style of '70s films like 'The French Connection.'

Quotes by James Wan

I auditioned for 'Revenge Of The Nerds,' and I so did not want the picture. I didn't want it. I didn't want be in anything that had nerds anywhere.

Quotes by J. B. Priestley

Looking good is the best revenge.

Quotes by Ivana Trump

Gorgeous hair is the best revenge.

Quotes by Ivana Trump

We have defeated Gaddafi on the battlefield; now we must defeat him in our imagination. We must not allow his legacy to corrupt our dream. Let's keep focused on the true prize: unity, democracy, and the rule of law. Let's not seek revenge; that would diminish our future.

Quotes by Hisham Matar

Instead of a man of peace and love, I have become a man of violence and revenge.

Quotes by Hiawatha

The idea of revenge coming from a 14-year-old girl isn't, you know, exactly right.

Quotes by Hailee Steinfeld

The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism.

Quotes by George Washington
