furies

«Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.»
«Beware the fury of a patient man.»
«Heav'n has no rage, like love to hatred turn'd, Nor Hell a fury, like a woman scorn'd»
«I must tell you that I was always afraid of the fury with which I loved you. It overwhelmed me. I thought it beyond comprehension, therefore my silence.»
«Life is fury, he'd thought. Fury ? sexual, Oedipal, political, magical, brutal ? drives us to our finest heights and coarsest depths. Out of furia comes creation, inspiration, originality, passion, but also violence, pain, pure unafraid destruction, the giving and receiving of blows from which we never recover. The Furies pursue us; Shiva dances his furious dance to create and also to destroy. But never mind about gods! Sara ranting at him represented the human spirit in its purest, least socialized form. This is what we are, what we civilize ourselves to disguise ? the terrifying human animal in us, the exalted, transcendent, self-destructive, untramelled lord of creation.»
«Black it stood as night, / Fierce as ten furies, terrible as hell, / And shook a dreadful dart.»
«In the domain of Political Economy, free scientific inquiry meets not merely the same enemies as in all other domains. The peculiar nature of the material it deals with, summons as foes into the field of battle the most violent, mean and malignant passions of the human breast, the Furies of private interest.»
«I understand a fury in your words,But not the words.»
«Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.»
«And where two waging fires meet togetherThey do consume the thing that feeds their fury.Though little fire grows great with little wind,Yet extreme gusts will blow out fire and all.»
