“The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.”
Bible
“I predict you will sink step by step into a bottomless quagmire, however much you spend in men and money.”
Charles de Gaulle
“It is impossible to think of Howard Hughes without seeing the apparently bottomless gulf between what we say we want and what we do want, between what we officially admire and secretly desire, between, in the largest sense, the people we marry and the people we love. In a nation which increasingly appears to prize social virtues, Howard Hughes remains not merely antisocial but grandly, brilliantly, surpassingly, asocial. He is the last private man, the dream we no longer admit.”
Joan Didion
“And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.”
“Failure is a bottomless pit ready to devour you. If you always look up and never look down, failure is void.”
Folashade' Ayanwale
“Never give succor to the mentally ill; it is a bottomless pit.”
William S. Burroughs
“He should have been dragged through streets ... and thrown into a bottomless pit.”
