Original Punishment

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or punishment:

    The real antichrist is he who turns the wine of an original idea into the water of mediocrity.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    Let us have compassion for those under chastisement. Alas, who are we ourselves? Who am I and who are you? Whence do we come and is it quite certain that we did nothing before we were born? This earth is not without some resemblance to a gaol. Who knows but that man is a victim of divine justice? Look closely at life. It is so constituted that one senses punishment everywhere.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
