Doomed

Famous quotes containing the word doomed:

    When I think of a merry, happy, free young girl—and look at the ailing, aching state a young wife generally is doomed to—which you can’t deny is the penalty of marriage.
    Victoria (1819–1901)

    It is seen
    At the end that the kind and good are rewarded,
    That the unjust one is doomed to burn forever
    Around his error, sadder and wiser anyway.
    Between these extremes the others muddle through
    Like us....
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    What we know partakes in no small measure of the nature of what has so happily been called the unutterable or ineffable, so that any attempt to utter or eff it is doomed to fail, doomed, doomed to fail.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
