Hideous

Famous quotes containing the word hideous:

“The hideous god of war.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“I have no other pictures of the world apart from those which express evanescence, and callousness, vanity and anger, emptiness, or hideous useless hate. Everything has merely confirmed what I had seen and understood in my childhood: futile and sordid fits of rage, cries suddenly blanketed by the silence, shadows swallowed up for ever by the night.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)

“Vice is a creature of such hideous mien ... that the more you see it the better you like it.”
—Finley Peter Dunne (1867–1936)
