In 1859 the thing ordsprog

In 1859, the thing to do was to accept Darwinism; now many biologists are revolting and trying to conceive of something else.

I'm frightened of eggs, worse than frightened, they revolt me. That white round thing without any holes have you ever seen anything more revolting than an egg yolk breaking and spilling its yellow liquid? Blood is jolly, red. But egg yolk is yellow, revolting. I've never tasted it.

Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980)

The political spin in Washington is revolting, just revolting. It's a callous political game.

[I]t is revolting to have no better reason for a rule of law than that it was laid down in the time of Henry IV. It is still more revolting if the grounds upon which it was laid down have vanished long since, and the rule simply persists through blind imitation of the past.

Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894)

It all started to occur in the '70s, and by the '90s biologists were noticing some pretty serious damage to the habitat on the breeding colonies at several locations in the Arctic. They were getting together at various conferences and realized that they were seeing the same thing.

The problem in this case was you just can’t be a middle-aged virgin in America without something be wrong with you. People can’t conceive of a virtue in someone else that they can’t conceive in themselves. Instead of believing you’re stronger, it’s so much easier to imagine you’re weaker. You’re addicted to self-abuse. You’re a liar. People are always ready to believe the opposite of what you tell them.

Chuck Palahniuk (1961-)

It's very barebones in its text, and that's the way it's been since 1859. It's never been particularly wordy.

I conceive of a world without poverty, without classes, without nations, without religions, without any kind of discrimination. I conceive of a world which is one, a humanity which is one, a humanity which shares everything -- outer and inner -- a deep spiritual brotherhood.

Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (1931-1990)

And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
