Monstrous

Famous quotes containing the word monstrous:

“The will to domination is a ravenous beast. There are never enough warm bodies to satiate its monstrous hunger. Once alive, this beast grows and grows, feeding on all the life around it, scouring the earth to find new sources of nourishment. This beast lives in each man who battens on female servitude.”
—Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)

“She would love still, but she would never again be tender till her daughter should have repudiated her base,—her monstrous engagement.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

“With monstrous head and sickening cry
And ears like errant wings,
The devil’s walking parody
On all four-footed things.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
