Quotes & Sayings About Ophelia's Madness

Some people misunderstand evil and believe it will relent, and because their misplaced hope inspires dark hearts to dream darker dreams, they are the fathers and mothers of all wars.

In Seneca Creek the average length of pool is 1.6 times the length of riffle. No corresponding figure is available for meanders. — Luna B. Leopold

with this bullet lodged in my chest, covered with your name, I will turn myself into a gun, because
it's all I have,
because I'm hungry and hollow and just want something to call my own. I'll be your slaughterhouse, your killing floor, your morgue and final resting, walking around with this
bullet inside me
'cause I couldn't make you love me and I'm tired of pulling your teeth. — Richard Siken

The Mad Scene. Enter Ophelia! — Eugene O'Neill

Husbands and wives fight, and when the wife is packing up, the husband says, 'Don't leave! I'm gonna change!' Marriages stay together because people promise to change. — Jerry Della Femina
