Walks along beside of me
Chaos, darkness on a violent binge
This is our world according to revenge

"The World According to Revenge"
Once you've sought the path of revenge
There's no way to stop
And the more I try to hurt you the more that it hurts me
DANGER MOUSE & SPARKLEHORSE
"Revenge"
It is useless to meet revenge with revenge: it will heal nothing.
J. R. R. TOLKIEN
The Return of the King
There is no truer saying than "Revenge is a dish best eaten cold." It is so much sweeter for the waiting, and my only regret is that I cannot broadcast my triumph to the world.
MINETTE WALTERS
The Scold's Bridle
He that thinks he shows boldness or height of mind by a scurrilous reply to a scurrilous provocation measures himself by a false standard, and acts not the spirit of a man, but the spleen of a wasp.
ROBERT SOUTH
attributed, Treasury of Thought
The way of revenge lies in simply forcing ones way into a place and being cut down. There is no shame in this. By thinking that you must complete the job you will run out of time. By considering things like how many men the enemy has, time piles up; in the end you will give up. No matter if the enemy has thousands of men, there is fulfillment in simply standing them off and being determined to cut them all down, starting from one end. You will finish the greater part of it.
YAMAMOTO TSUNETOMO
Hagakure
The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.
MARCUS AURELIUS
Meditations
Revenge is a boomerang.
GARRET SMITH
Living Sparks of Life
Far from being a psychological trait, the spirit of revenge is the principle on which our whole psychology depends.
GILLES DELEUZE
Nietzsche and Philosophy
On the contrary, once revenge is taken, we feel even more miserable having behaved with such negative poison. The right approach is to beware of revenge and not let it build a foundation in our hearts. Let us eliminate this joy stealer, for it may come in pretending to bring us satisfaction, but leaves with all the joy and happiness that once belonged to us.
RAVI V. MELWANI
I Wanna Be Happy: Happiness Guaranteed in 6 Simple Steps
Revenge is for children and the emotionally retarded.
FRANK HERBERT
Chapterhouse: Dune
In a distorted, fallen world revenge is normal, its extreme form being capital punishment. Certainly, those who harm others, especially those whose lives are distorted, must be placed where they cannot repeat such acts, but judgment belongs to God alone.
GENE DAVENPORT
"Revenge accomplishes nothing", The Jackson Sun, November 2, 2017
Revenge, at first though sweet,
Bitter ere long back on itself recoils.
JOHN MILTON
Paradise Lost
If thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
BIBLE
Romans 12:20
Hunting high and low to seek revenge
Brand new moral code, got made reluctant renegade
Leaving empty souls when he avenged
Evil spirits flowed he drank the blood like lemonade
MORCHEEBA
"If You Like Lemonade"
Revenge is the naked idol of the worship of a semi-barbarous age.
PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY
A Defence of Poetry
Revenge is not the purest motivator. Nor is it the most stable. Playing with that kind of raw emotion can leave the mind clouded and body burnt out. But when channeled properly it can make a fine, if ephemeral and highly combustible, fuel.
NICK MOYLE
"Texas uses huge first quarter to exact revenge from Kansas", My San Antonio, November 11, 2017
Revenge is the law of the outlaws.
LAURA BLUMENFELD
Revenge: A Story of Hope
Revenge is the prime ingredient in the fountain of youth.
CLOCKWERK
Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus
You know
If somebody, somewhere done you wrong
Oh, don't worry about your revenge, no
I said if somebody, somewhere done you wrong
Oh, don't worry about your revenge, no no
Because that's when evil
Oh, evil slips on in
STEVE MILLER BAND
