Famous quotes containing the word betrayal:

    Anyone who hasn’t experienced the ecstasy of betrayal knows nothing about ecstasy at all.
    Jean Genet (1910–1986)

    still a betrayal room for the till-death-do-us
    and yet a death, as in the unlocking of scissors
    that makes the now separate parts useless,
    even to cut each other up as we did yearly
    under the crayoned-in sun.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    He that has eyes to see and ears to hear may convince himself that no mortal can keep a secret. If his lips are silent, he chatters with his fingertips; betrayal oozes out of him at every pore.
    Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
