Famous quotes containing the words consequences and/or violence:
“[As teenager], the trauma of near-misses and almost- consequences usually brings us to our senses.

Our definition of acceptable risk becomes a product of our own experience.”
—Roger Gould (20th century)
“Who shall measure the heat and violence of the poet’s heart when caught and tangled in a woman’s body?”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
