Famous quotes containing the word victims:

    Without being forgiven, released from the consequences of what we have done, our capacity to act would ... be confined to one single deed from which we could never recover; we would remain the victims of its consequences forever, not unlike the sorcerer’s apprentice who lacked the magic formula to break the spell.
    Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    We fetch fire and water, run about all day among the shops and markets, and get our clothes and shoes made and mended, and are the victims of these details, and once in a fortnight we arrive perhaps at a rational moment.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    He was warned. And now he’s paid. Let him be buried with the other victims of human greed and folly.
    Cyril Hume, and Fred McLeod Wilcox. Dr. Morbius (Walter Pidgeon)
