I long for a church that understands the dangers of entertainment and sees it for what is is: a lion crouching at the evangelical door, ready to devour us. We need a culture of evangelism that never sacrifices to the idolatry of entertainment, but serves up the rich fare found the gospel of Christ. ~ J. Mack Stiles
Devour quotes by J. Mack Stiles
Contained within the breadth of my heart where you belong unto me and I unto you. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
Marriage. That's what he called it, though men like Paul do not marry women. They own them. They control them. They are voracious gluttons who devour every part of a woman, then clean their teeth with the bones. ~ Karin Slaughter
Devour quotes by Karin Slaughter
In this world, the strong devour the weak. Who is the strong? I am. I am the fucking strong. ~ Ken Kaneki
Devour quotes by Ken Kaneki
I am his tomb. The earth is nothing. Dead. Staves and orchards issue from my mouth. His. Perfume my chest, which is wide, wide open. A greengage plum swells his silence. The bees escape from his eyes, from his sockets where the liquid pupils have flowed from under the flaccid eyelids. To eat a youngster shot on the barricades, to devour a young hero, is no easy thing. We all love the sun. My mouth is bloody. So are my fingers. I tore the flesh to shreds with my teeth. Corpses do not usually bleed. His did. ~ Jean Genet
Devour quotes by Jean Genet
You are the ruler of my heart. There is no measure greater than this. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
When a chance for real happiness comes by, grab it with both hands and devour it. If it lasts five minutes or five lifetimes, it's still worth it. ~ Malorie Blackman
Devour quotes by Malorie Blackman
Peer beyond the wall of doubt to embrace the possibilities. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
Discovering a note in the mending basket, Phoebe plucked it out and unfolded it. She instantly recognized West's handwriting.

Unemployed Feline Seeking Household Position


To Whom It May Concern,
I hereby offer my services as an experienced mouser and personal companion. References from a reputable family to be provided upon request. Willing to accept room and board in lieu of pay. Indoor lodgings preferred.

Your servant,
Galoshes the Cat

Glancing up from the note, Phoebe found her parents' questioning gazes on her. "Job application," she explained sourly. "From the cat."
"How charming," Seraphina exclaimed, reading over her shoulder.
"'Personal companion,' my foot," Phoebe muttered. "This is a semi-feral animal who has lived in outbuildings and fed on vermin."
"I wonder," Seraphina said thoughtfully. "If she were truly feral, she wouldn't want any contact with humans. With time and patience, she might become domesticated."
Phoebe rolled her eyes. "It seems we'll find out."
The boys returned from the dining car with a bowl of water and a tray of refreshments. Galoshes descended to the floor long enough to devour a boiled egg, an anchovy canapé, and a spoonful of black caviar from a silver dish on ice. Licking her lips and purring, the cat jumped back into Phoebe's lap and curled up with a sigh.
"I'd say she's adjusting quite well," Seraphina commented with a grin, and elbowed Phoebe ge ~ Lisa Kleypas
Devour quotes by Lisa Kleypas
Neither of my parents suffered from the little spooky prejudices that devour the people who know nothing but automobiles and movies and what's in the ice-box and what's in the papers and which neighbors are getting a divorce. ~ Thomas Merton
Devour quotes by Thomas Merton
God commands all the birds of the heavens to devour the flesh of the princes and commands the wild animals to drink the blood of the mighty ones. ~ Thomas Muntzer
Devour quotes by Thomas Muntzer
Commit to always being honest, if not with others then with yourself. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
Every cloud has a silver lining. The edge of light that shines brightest holds a sliver of hope for a bright today & an even better tomorrow. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
I am insatiable - aim to sate me but never dull my flames of desire that are fuelled by the existence of you. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
I believe,
I have faith,
I trust,
In me,
In you,
In us. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
The rats had gnawed a hole through the bottom panel. At least he assumed it was rats. Of course it was. What else could it be? For a moment, he conjured up an assortment of Lovecraftian creatures crouching on their haunches, waiting patiently in the dark just beyond the door, waiting to devour him like a side of fresh beef. He quickly held his imagination in check. ~ Gary Val Tenuta
Devour quotes by Gary Val Tenuta
Though I love you to the core of my being, so thoroughly that every cell comprising me aches to be near you, I must accept that we can never be together. For our existence parallels the sun and the moon - a temptation in constant, beautiful view, yet if the sun were ever to kiss the moon it would devour the heavenly orb whole. Oh, my darling, if only I were the moon! Then I would dare taste your lips and be happy for my last and final joy! But alas, I am the sun, and I will not venture to destroy the one I love. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Devour quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
Avid readers are a breed of their own, and we're often accused of being heady. I don't care. I love books and can devour one in a whole day if I'm allowed. ~ AnnaLisa Grant
Devour quotes by AnnaLisa Grant
Altering your perspective can provide you the luxury of seeing things for what they are, not what you wish them to be. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
The thought of you makes my days brighter and my nights filled with dreams. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
I will devour you. I will lick your bones clean and crush them between my teeth. I will suck the marrow ... "
"That's nice," Kate said. "The shield. ~ Ilona Andrews
Devour quotes by Ilona Andrews
Lying down gazing at the cerulean blue-black sky, she slid her hands down to intertwine her fingers with his. "I love you," she whispers. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
Please do not devour me, I wish to remain Boo Radley. ~ Angela Marie Suor
Devour quotes by Angela Marie Suor
You became the sonnet that was etched in my minds eye. Existing outside the dreams we shared in the presence of our eternal love. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
Fulfil my wishes, Obey my commands. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
These were vile discoveries; but except for the treachery of concealment, I should have made them no subject of reproach to my wife, even when I found her nature wholly alien to mine, her tastes obnoxious to me, her cast of mind common, low, narrow, and singularly incapable of being led to anything higher, expanded to anything larger - when I found that I could not pass a single evening, nor even a single hour of the day with her in comfort; that kindly conversation could not be sustained between us, because whatever topic I started, immediately received from her a turn at once coarse and trite, perverse and imbecile - when I perceived that I should never have a quiet or settled household, because no servant would bear the continued outbreaks of her violent and unreasonable temper, or the vexations of her absurd, contradictory, exacting orders - even then I restrained myself: I eschewed upbraiding, I curtailed remonstrance; I tried to devour my repentance and disgust in secret; I repressed the deep antipathy I felt. ~ Charlotte Bronte
Devour quotes by Charlotte Bronte
It is commonly said to my little friend Legion: Read the great writers for style. But I say to him: Read the great dead masters for ideas. Devour them, Fletcherize them, digest, assimilate, make them part of your blood; let the enriched blood visit your brain. The resultant activities will be fairly your own, and the little kinks and convolutions of your brain, which are entirely different from the kinks of any other brain, will furnish you all the style you will ever get.
There are no really fresh ideas; just as there is not any fresh air. Air and ideas are refreshed and refreshing, vitalized and vitalizing; but the thoughts have been thought before and the air has been breathed before. ~ Eugene Manlove Rhodes
Devour quotes by Eugene Manlove Rhodes
Dreams translate the needs of our soul to provide opportunity for our conscious to divine it into reality. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
Riding on the coat tails of another is denying your ability to lead your own life. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
Among the weeds choking out growth and good government are the hundreds of boards, commissions, and advisory committees that have sprouted over the years. They devour time, money, and energy far beyond any real contribution they make. ~ Mitch Daniels
Devour quotes by Mitch Daniels
Choose to be the best version of you. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
Even post true death memories carried on the waves of universal energy will defy the faux perception of finality. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
only dare tread the waters of insanity at night as they lie dreaming. Cowards. Dive deep into your psychopathy. Let loose the demons of delusion and know, in the end, when they finally devour you, you swam with sharks. - VERSKLAVEN SCHWACHE, GEFAHRGEIST PHILOSOPHER ~ Michael R. Fletcher
Devour quotes by Michael R. Fletcher
You look as if you would eat me up," he says. "I would," I say. "I cannot think how to sate my desire for you. I think I will have to keep you prisoner here and eat you up in little cutlets, day after day." "If I kept you prisoner, I would devour you in one greedy swallow," he chuckles. "But you would not get out till you were with child. ~ Philippa Gregory
Devour quotes by Philippa Gregory
I'm sorry." Her voice cracked. "McKenna-"
"Not sorry enough." He pressed his wet face to hers, his mouth rubbing over her cheeks and chin in feverish, rough half kisses, as if he wanted to devour her. "Not nearly enough. You say you've had to live without your heart...how would you like to lose your soul as well? I've cursed every day I've had to live without you, and every night that I spent with another woman, wishing that it was you in my arms-"
"NO-" she moaned.
"Wishing," he continued fiercely, "for some way to stop the memories of you from eating away at me until there was nothing left inside. I've found no peace anywhere, not even in sleep. Not even in dreams..." He broke off and assaulted her with hungry, shuddering kisses. The taste of his tears, his mouth, made Aline disoriented and hot, her head reeling from shocks of pleasure. McKenna seemed possessed by a passion that bordered on violence, his lungs wracked with hard breaths, his hands tightening with a force that threatened to leave bruises on her tender flesh. "By God," he said with the vehemence of a man to whom entirely too much had happened, "In the past few days I've suffered the torments of the damned, and I've had enough! ~ Lisa Kleypas
Devour quotes by Lisa Kleypas
The simple action of pulling her body against his was strangely satisfying, like a puzzle piece snapping neatly into place. She gave a low cry, automatically clutching at his arm. The loose lock of fine blond hair blew across Nick's face, and the fresh, faintly salty fragrance of female skin rose to his nostrils. The scent made his mouth water. Nick was startled by his instant reaction to her- he had never experienced such a visceral response to a woman. He wanted to leap from the wall and carry her off like one of the wolves that had once roamed the medieval forests, and find some place to devour his prey in private. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Devour quotes by Lisa Kleypas
Nothing was like knowing you were the appetizer for a feast of orgy, that you were what whetted the guests and enticed them to devour. ~ Fierce Dolan
Devour quotes by Fierce Dolan
Don't buy into a superficial reality. It has an expiration date. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
There is a point at which methods devour themselves. ~ Frantz Fanon
Devour quotes by Frantz Fanon
We did not ask if he had seen any monsters, for monsters have ceased to be news. There is never any shortage of horrible creatures who prey on human beings, snatch away their food, or devour whole populations; but examples of wise social planning are not so easy to find. ~ Thomas More
Devour quotes by Thomas More
As he dropped the last grisly fragment of the dismembered and mutilated body into the small vat of nitric acid that was to devour every trace of the horrid evidence which might easily send him to the gallows, the man sank weakly into a chair and throwing his body forward upon his great, teak desk buried his face in his arms, breaking into dry, moaning sobs. ~ Edgar Rice Burroughs
Devour quotes by Edgar Rice Burroughs
Some see the glass half full, some see it half empty, and some see it crawling with toxic alien parasites who want to devour your pancreas. ~ James Alan Gardner
Devour quotes by James Alan Gardner
There is an old Eastern fable about a traveler who is taken unawares on the steppes by a ferocious wild animal. In order to escape the beast the traveler hides in an empty well, but at the bottom of the well he sees a dragon with its jaws open, ready to devour him. The poor fellow does not dare to climb out because he is afraid of being eaten by the rapacious beast, neither does he dare drop to the bottom of the well for fear of being eaten by the dragon. So he seizes hold of a branch of a bush that is growing in the crevices of the well and clings on to it. His arms grow weak and he knows that he will soon have to resign himself to the death that awaits him on either side. Yet he still clings on, and while he is holding on to the branch he looks around and sees that two mice, one black and one white, are steadily working their way round the bush he is hanging from, gnawing away at it. Sooner or later they will eat through it and the branch will snap, and he will fall into the jaws of the dragon. The traveler sees this and knows that he will inevitably perish. But while he is still hanging there he sees some drops of honey on the leaves of the bush, stretches out his tongue and licks them. In the same way I am clinging to the tree of life, knowing full well that the dragon of death inevitably awaits me, ready to tear me to pieces, and I cannot understand how I have fallen into this torment. And I try licking the honey that once consoled me, but it no longer gives me pleasure. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Devour quotes by Leo Tolstoy
And of course these days I feel like there is a nation of us - displaced southerners and children of the working class. We listen to Steve Earle, Mary J. Blige, and k.d. lang. We devour paperback novels and tell evil mean stories, value stubbornness above patience and a sense of humor more than a college education. We claim our heritage with a full appreciation of how often it has been disdained.
And let me promise you, you do not want to make us angry. ~ Dorothy Allison
Devour quotes by Dorothy Allison
I might say, in passing, that my life seems to have been one long search for the Mara who would devour all the others and give them significant reality. ~ Henry Miller
Devour quotes by Henry Miller
The animals you eat are not those who devour others; you do not eat the carnivorous beasts, you take them as your pattern. You only hunger for the sweet and gentle creatures which harm no one, which follow you, serve you, and are devoured by you as the reward of their service. ~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Devour quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
In the whole vast domain of living nature there reigns an open violence, a kind of prescriptive fury which arms all the creatures to their common doom. As soon as you leave the inanimate kingdom, you find the decree of violent death inscribed on the very frontiers of life. You feel it already in the vegetable kingdom: from the great catalpa to the humblest herb, how many plants die, and how many are killed. But from the moment you enter the animal kingdom, this law is suddenly in the most dreadful evidence. A power of violence at once hidden and palpable … has in each species appointed a certain number of animals to devour the others. Thus there are insects of prey, reptiles of prey, birds of prey, fishes of prey, quadrupeds of prey. There is no instant of time when one creature is not being devoured by another. Over all these numerous races of animals man is placed, and his destructive hand spares nothing that lives. He kills to obtain food and he kills to clothe himself. He kills to adorn himself, he kills in order to attack, and he kills in order to defend himself. He kills to instruct himself and he kills to amuse himself. He kills to kill. Proud and terrible king, he wants everything and nothing resists him.

From the lamb he tears its guts and makes his harp resound ... from the wolf his most deadly tooth to polish his pretty works of art; from the elephant his tusks to make a toy for his child - his table is covered with corpses ... And who in all of this wil ~ Joseph De Maistre
Devour quotes by Joseph De Maistre
Those who are preparing for the coming of Christ should be sober, and watch unto prayer, for our adversary, the Devil, goeth about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour; whom we are to resist steadfast in the faith. ~ Ellen G. White
Devour quotes by Ellen G. White
Hate will devour you. Anger, no matter how righteous it feels, is a straight, short path to hell. ~ J.T. Geissinger
Devour quotes by J.T. Geissinger
Oh, adorable, delicious Amelie. If I weren't so completely straight and enamored with cock, I would devour this sweet little tart. ~ Ella Dominguez
Devour quotes by Ella Dominguez
We can ill afford to have activities conducted as "non-profit," that is, as activities that devour capital rather than form it, if they can be organized as activities that form capital, as activities that make a profit. ~ Peter Drucker
Devour quotes by Peter Drucker
Everything in life has a space of balance. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
Let the mouth also fast from disgraceful speeches and railings. For what does it profit if we abstain from fish and fowl and yet bite and devour our brothers and sisters? The evil speaker eats the flesh of his brother and bites the body of his neighbor. ~ John Chrysostom
Devour quotes by John Chrysostom
Where lies the strangling fruit that came from the hand of the sinner I shall bring forth the seeds of the dead to share with the worms that gather in the darkness and surround the world with the power of their lives while from the dimlit halls of other places forms that never were and never could be writhe for the impatience of the few who never saw what could have been. In the black water with the sun shining at midnight, those fruit shall come ripe and in the darkness of that which is golden shall split open to reveal the revelation of the fatal softness in the earth. The shadows of the abyss are like the petals of a monstrous flower that shall blossom within the skull and expand the mind beyond what any man can bear, but whether it decays under the earth or above on green fields, or out to sea or in the very air, all shall come to revelation, and to revel, in the knowledge of the strangling fruit - and the hand of the sinner shall rejoice, for there is no sin in shadow or in light that the seeds of the dead cannot forgive. And there shall be in the planting in the shadows a grace and a mercy from which shall blossom dark flowers, and their teeth shall devour and sustain and herald the passing of an age. That which dies shall still know life in death for all that decays is not forgotten and reanimated it shall walk the world in the bliss of not-knowing. And then there shall be a fire that knows the naming of you, and in the presence of the strangling fruit, its dark flame ~ Jeff VanderMeer
Devour quotes by Jeff VanderMeer
Read day and night, devour books - these sleeping pills - not to know but to forget! Through books you can retrace your way back to the origins of spleen, discarding history and its illusions. ~ Emil Cioran
Devour quotes by Emil Cioran
Our growth depends not on how many experiences we devour, but on how many we digest. ~ Ralph W. Sockman
Devour quotes by Ralph W. Sockman
Sometimes when you're struggling to see kindness in the world, you need to be the creator of it to remind yourself it does exist. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
Mon Amour - may we meet sweetly in thy dreams. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
You are my miracle. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
Outrage is like a lot of other things that feel good but, over time, devour us from the inside out. Except it's even more insidious than most vices because we don't even consciously acknowledge that it's a pleasure. We prefer to think of it as a disagreeable but fundamentally healthy reaction to negative stimuli, like pain or nausea, rather than admit that it's a shameful kick we eagerly indulge again and again, like compulsive masturbation. And, ~ Tim Kreider
Devour quotes by Tim Kreider
My soul will always find its way to yours because home is where the heart is. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
The climax of terror is reached when the police state begins to devour its own children, when yesterday's executioner becomes today's victim. ~ Hannah Arendt
Devour quotes by Hannah Arendt
I'm addicted to chocolate chip cookies. I mean that seriously. If there are chocolate chip cookies, I will devour them. ~ Hasan Minhaj
Devour quotes by Hasan Minhaj
My heart is beating with joy, my head is filled with song and my soul is intertwined with yours which is where it always belonged. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
Silence frees us from the need to control others. One reason we can hardly bear to remain silent is that it makes us feel so helpless. We are accustomed to relying upon words to manage and control others. A frantic stream of words flows from us in an attempt to straighten others out. We want so desperately for them to agree with us, to see things our way. We evaluate people, judge people, condemn people. We devour people with our words. Silence is one of the deepest Disciplines of the Spirit simply because it puts the stopper on that.
When we become quiet enough to let go of people, we learn compassion for them. ~ Richard J. Foster
Devour quotes by Richard J. Foster
Be sober, be vigilant because your adversary the Devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. ~ Jennifer Crusie
Devour quotes by Jennifer Crusie
But fear - panic - knows no reason. It brings into being overnight the things that it fears. It is the greatest torment of humanity. Fear is, in short, the devil. It causes most of the sin, disaster, disease and misery of the world. It is the ravening lion roaming the earth seeking whom it may ... devour. The only refuge is in the knowledge that it has no power other than the power you give it. ~ Robert Collier
Devour quotes by Robert Collier
The path to love can be clouded with mystery and intrigue. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
Distance may be the segregator but our thoughts and dreams are what keep us together. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
You were a luminescent star in the darkened sky that became my universe. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
I could hear the human noise as were standing still in between the spaces of silence. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
She always,
She always wanted to express herself but no one cared,
So she stopped,
She was crushed,
Stiff & lifeless,
Like everything else. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
Golden tongues of fire licked the night-sky, lighting up Brenna's ancient sky-line in terrible beauty. The wizard and his young companion watched the flames devour the city like a hungry beast. The knowledge they had only barely escaped from the Morg's clutches did not fill them with relief but a sense of burgeoning panic – the sacking of Brenna was only a taste of what was to come. ~ Sam J. Charlton
Devour quotes by Sam J. Charlton
8Most importantly, be disciplined and stay on guard. Your enemy the devil is prowling around outside like a roaring lion, just waiting and hoping for the chance to devour someone. 9Resist him and be strong in your faith, knowing that your brothers and sisters throughout the world are fellow sufferers with you. 10After you have suffered for a little while, the God of grace who has called you [to His everlasting presence]* through Jesus the Anointed will restore you, support you, strengthen you, and ground you. 11For all power belongs to God, now and forever. Amen. ~ Anonymous
Devour quotes by Anonymous
On every stem, on every leaf, ... and at the root of everything that grew, was a professional specialist in the shape of grub, caterpillar, aphis, or other expert, whose business it was to devour that particular part. ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
Devour quotes by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
I love books where you can't get out of bed. You want to consume them in one sitting, devour them. Those are my favorites, where you've almost abandoned your life for them. That doesn't happen every time, but those are the best. ~ Rachel McAdams
Devour quotes by Rachel McAdams
Dream about things that envelop your being like a comfortable blanket. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
Dare to live the fairytale. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
They are like pythons in the jungle. The smallest child can crush a python egg. But let the snake hatch and grow and the python with squeeze and devour the child. ~ Richard Paul Evans
Devour quotes by Richard Paul Evans
Yes, he was that good looking. Take-your-breath-away good looking. Want-to-strip-your-body-naked-and-let-him-devour-you-alive good looking. Certified-eye-candy good looking. ~ Gail McHugh
Devour quotes by Gail McHugh
You are worth fighting for. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
I cannot place the luxury of thought towards tomorrow as I am consumed by living for today. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
Here I am referring to the types of books that thirtyish women devour at private swim clubs, often to the dismay of their drowning children. ~ Joe Queenan
Devour quotes by Joe Queenan
Did the tsar refuse to marry you?" I asked. I thought the duke might have been angry with her if he had: he hadn't seemed like a man to be satisfied if his plans went awry.

"No," she said. "I am tsarina. For as long as I live." She said it dryly, as if she didn't expect that to last long. "The tsar is a black sorcerer. He is possessed by a demon of flame that wants to devour me."

I laughed; I couldn't help it. It wasn't mirth, it was bitterness. "So the fairy silver brought you a monster of fire for a husband, and me a monster of ice. We should put them in a room together and let them make us both widows. ~ Naomi Novik
Devour quotes by Naomi Novik
The uniformed man led him along a short corridor and turned right at an electronic display proclaiming "The new collection from Kelloggs" and portraying several variations of luminous crotchless panties.

Grandfather frowned. "Can you eat those?" he asked the man, pointing at the display.

The man grinned. "If you buy them, Sir, I am sure that you can do anything you want with them. Eat the panties, devour the contents …. This way, Sir. ~ Tim Roux
Devour quotes by Tim Roux
Even a grain of sand united with an oyster can make a pearl. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
No, I have to lure him out, like a will-o'-the-wisp, tease him deeper and deeper into the forest until he is lost and doomed. Without the forest or the doom - just the luring. Like a Venus flytrap that says I am a delicious flower come taste me and then snap! Devour. Without the devouring. Well, maybe a little devouring. ~ Laini Taylor
Devour quotes by Laini Taylor
last the play was ended. All had grown dark. The tears streamed down his face. Looking up into the sky there was nothing but blackness there too. Ruin and death, he thought, cover all. The life of man ends in the grave. Worms devour us. ~ Virginia Woolf
Devour quotes by Virginia Woolf
Do you remember bedtime as a child? I was terrified of the dark. I was terrified of the closed closet door that surely cracked open when I wasn't looking and spewed out ghouls and devils. I took care that no arms or legs protruded from the bed. I sometimes slept with the covers over my head. Sweltering, panting, barely breathing. Not even my hair exposed, lest a monster discover and devour me. I remember begging my father to check under the bed. I remember trying to explain how some monsters had invisibility cloaks. He would kiss my cheek and switch off the light.

We stop looking under the bed once we realize that the monsters are inside us.

It's funny how they transform. Suddenly they don't mind daylight. Suddenly they dress nicely, speak our language, and share our customs. They sit next to us on the metro and jog around our neighborhoods. They slip things into our drinks at parties and offer us jobs. Sometimes we spot them, sometimes we don't. Sometimes we even do the unthinkable: we invite them to our bed. As adults, we burn down the sanctuaries we created as children. Our inner child freaks out, but its screams are drowned by our moans as our monsters bring us to orgasm. ~ Angela Panayotopulos
Devour quotes by Angela Panayotopulos
Eternally the embers glow masterfully fueled by lovers passion. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
The generation of choice has left us no choices. As our world turns and we devour ourselves. We stare into the eyes of our children, a brilliant reflection of our image. And, we blame them for what we see. ~ Sonja Cassandra Perdue
Devour quotes by Sonja Cassandra Perdue
The Phoenix rises in the absence or need of witness. ~ Truth Devour
Devour quotes by Truth Devour
Come back over in an hour. Then you, Auburn Mason Reed, I will completely devour. ~ Colleen Hoover
Devour quotes by Colleen Hoover
The peace the world pretends to desire is really no peace at all. To some men, peace merely means the liberty to exploit other people without fear of retaliation or interference. To others, peace means the freedom to rob brothers without interruption. To still others, it means the leisure to devour the goods of the earth without being compelled to interrupt their pleasures to feed those whom their greed is starving. And to practically everybody, peace simply means the absence of any physical violence that might cast a shadow over lives devoted to the satisfaction of their animal appetites for comfort and pleasure. ~ Thomas Merton
Devour quotes by Thomas Merton
Beware, Underlanders, time hangs by a thread.
The hunters are hunted, white water runs red.
The Gnawers will strike to extinguish the rest.
The hope of the hopeless resides in a quest.
An Overland warrior, a son of the sun,
May bring us back light, he may bring us back none.
But gather your neighbors and follow his call
Or rats will most surely devour us all.
Two over, two under, of royal descent,
Two flyers, two crawlers, two spinners assent.
One gnawer beside and one lost up ahead.
And eight will be left when we count up the dead.
The last who will die must decide where he stands.
The fate of the eight is contained in his hands.
So bid him take care, bid him look where he leaps,
As life may be death and death life again reaps. ~ Suzanne Collins
Devour quotes by Suzanne Collins
The product of the artist has become less important than the fact of the artist. We wish to absorb this person. We wish to devour someone who has experienced the tragic. In our society this person is much more important than anything he might create. ~ David Mamet
Devour quotes by David Mamet
People often say they don't dream, when it's more accurate to say that they don't remember their dreams. It gets under our skin, Kay. All of it does. We just manage to cage in most of the emotions so they don't devour us. ~ Patricia Cornwell
Devour quotes by Patricia Cornwell
Like so many people, Taylor thought he could not live- that he needed something harder, brighter, more extreme to properly live. The spiritual conquest of nature required a separation between mind and body- this he knew. He knew love must destroy its object and life must devour itself. But why he knew these things he did not know. ~ Carl Watson
Devour quotes by Carl Watson
I take inspiration where I can, and devour it in one piece like I'm starving. Not because I think it's something fleeting that will never return but because I think the best inspiration is the kind that makes you feel urgent. Like you're racing against yourself to get a story on the page while you still remember what that magic feels like. ~ Roshani Chokshi
Devour quotes by Roshani Chokshi
They said the shape-shifters fucked with the enthusiasm of animals - if they didn't devour you with the enthusiasm of one first. ~ Nenia Campbell
Devour quotes by Nenia Campbell
