That is one of the bitter curses of poverty; it leaves no right to be generous.

George Gissing

Most times, your blessings are also your curses. And for me, I have this ability to express myself so clearly with pen and paper, but when it comes to expressing myself verbally, I put up a big wall.

Alicia Keys

I believe we shall come to care about people less and less. The more people one knows the easier it becomes to replace them. It's one of the curses of London.

Ambrose Bierce

My mother believed in curses, karma, good luck, bad luck, feng shui. Her amorphous set of beliefs showed me you can pick and choose the qualities of your philosophy, based on what works for you.

Amy Tan

They have horror stuff in the Bible. Like if you were to read Deuteronomy 28, that talks about the blessings and curses of God.

Bushwick Bill

People tend to fear the ghosts in their own family. You feel these family curses and think, 'If it happened to my father, it could happen to me.'

Christian Louboutin

I don't know anyone who curses the way they do on the Sopranos. Not in an Italian household. I never said the word hell in front of my mother.

Danny Aiello

I had a very 'colorful' language, and every time I went to say something, Michael would cut me off with words like 'shoot' and 'fudge.' He didn't like curses. He didn't think it was necessary when other words would do.

Debbie Rowe

But the child's sob curses deeper in the silence than the strong man in his wrath!

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

With pride, there are many curses. With humility, there come many blessings.

Ezra Taft Benson

That is one of the bitter curses of poverty; it leaves no right to be generous.

At the end of April I archived 'Curses' and Inform, and announced them on the newsgroups.

Graham Nelson

The time has mainly gone on getting Inform into a decent shape for public use. I suppose the plot of 'Curses' makes a sequel conceivable when compared with, say, the plot of 'Hamlet' but none is planned.

Graham Nelson

Reading literature remains a civilising activity, no matter that it's literature in which people do and say abominable things and the author curses like the very devil. What's at issue is how we describe the way the civilising works.

Howard Jacobson

I suppose anybody just losing it and sputtering curses is pretty funny. But I think it would be more of a challenge, much more of a challenge, to make a cursing dad funny.

Ian Frazier

I'm not a guy who curses very much in my personal life. When I curse it sounds like a kid trying to be cool. But I think there are quite a few people, my father being one of them, who use curse words rather eloquently.

Justin Halpern

Curses on the law! Most of my fellow citizens are the sorry consequences of uncommitted abortions.

Karl Kraus

South Koreans who have seen and praised the mass games should remember the hardship of tearful children. Teachers drive them hard with curses and orders to repeat and repeat. When the children return home in the evening, they can hardly walk.

Kim Il-sung

Our curses on them that boil the eggs too hard! What use is an egg that is hard to any person on earth?

Lady Gregory

I hold that the beginning of modern Irish drama was in the winter of 1898, at a school feast at Coole, when Douglas Hyde and Miss Norma Borthwick acted in Irish in a Punch and Judy show; and the delighted children went back to tell their parents what grand curses 'An Craoibhin' had put on the baby and the policeman.

Lady Gregory

Maybe every once in a while someone associated with me gets a little freaked out and curses somebody out.

Lyndon LaRouche
