I've never done an anguished painting.

Roy Lichtenstein

It took me a while to get back to 'The Queen of the Night.' I was angry with it as an idea because I felt like it had sort of ruined my life by taking so much attention away from 'Edinburgh.' So it essentially languished in a drawer until 2004, when I pulled it out, dusted it off, and thought, 'Oh, I actually really like this idea.'

Alexander Chee

I lived and languished.

Andrei Platonov

Yes, I am very unhappy, extremely anguished at human rights violations against Kashmiris in India or against Rohingyas in Burma or, for that matter, Christians in Orissa; but obviously, I am going to be more concerned of violations taking place in my own house because I am closer to the people who I live with. I have more passion for them.

Asma Jahangir

I'm not fearful for myself, because I've seen adversity, and I can see it again. But I feel very upset and anguished when I see images of young lawyers beaten up.

Asma Jahangir

It would be a tragic mistake for us out here to imagine that Bush represents the hearts and the minds of the majority of your countrymen. Many of your black and other compatriots must be just as anguished as we are.

Breyten Breytenbach

In violent streets and broken homes, the cry of anguished souls is not for more laws but for more conscience and character.

Cal Thomas

Men know they are sexual exiles. They wander the earth seeking satisfaction, craving and despising, never content. There is nothing in that anguished motion for women to envy.

Camille Paglia

The devoted golfer is an anguished soul who has learned a lot about putting just as an avalanche victim has learned a lot about snow.

Dan Jenkins

I wish I was super-serious, anguished. I see those actors, and I am like, 'Oh God, they are so cool, and they seem so interesting.' I don't take acting that seriously.

Elisabeth Moss

Lucky that man whose children make his happiness in life and not his grief, the anguished disappointment of his hopes.

Euripides

No, I'm not anguished and tormented.

George H. W. Bush

I can't tell you how many board meetings I've been in where the CEO is anguished over the impacts on morale that cost cutting or layoffs will bring about. You know what hurts morale even more than cost-cutting and layoffs? Going out of business.

Heidi Roizen

The experienced writer says to the anguished novice: 'Just do it; get something, anything, on to the screen or page, just establish a flow of words, and criticise them later.' You give this advice but can't always take it.

Hilary Mantel

But his kiss was so sweet, and so closely he pressed, that I languished and pined till I granted the rest.

John Gay

I wish I knew why I am so anguished.

Marilyn Monroe

The 60th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945, has not so far provoked the kind of anguished debate that accompanied the 50th anniversary. The lack of controversy is fitting because there wasn't much soul-searching at the time.

Max Boot

I always tell people that I'll sound exactly like Alanis Morissette after I've had more boyfriends. I'll be just as anguished-sounding.

Michelle Branch

'We don't torture' is the anguished cry of squishy people who have decided that trying to frighten terrorists by roughing them up is somehow the very definition of torture.

Mike Gallagher

I was an anguished little girl with just one wish: to become an actor. I debuted in live theater at 14 with Dario Niccodemi's 'La Nemica.'

Monica Vitti

If there's anything worse than being 16, it's having parents visibly reliving their own teenage years in your anguished presence.
