“They sicken of the calm, who knew the storm.”
Dorothy Parker
“They sicken of the calm, who know the storm”
“They sicken at the calm that know the storm.”
“It was just a sickening feeling because I knew what it was and that my season was over.”
Carson Palmer
“If music be the food of love, play on; give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, the appetite may sicken and so die.”
William Shakespeare
“One is absolutely sickened, not by the crimes that the wicked have committed, but by the punishments that the good have inflicted; and a community is infinitely more brutalized by the habitual employment of punishment than it is by the occasional occurrence of crime.”
Oscar Wilde
“Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behaviour. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them—if you want to. Just as some day, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.”
