Quote by Austin O'Malley

Revenge is often like biting a dog because the dog bit you.

Revenge is often like biting a dog because the dog bit you.

Summary

This quote implies that seeking revenge is futile and only leads to a cycle of harm and retaliation. Just as biting a dog that bit you wouldn't solve anything and would perpetuate aggression, seeking revenge often only perpetuates a cycle of hostility and harm. It serves as a metaphorical wisdom, suggesting that retaliating out of anger and seeking vengeance will ultimately bring more harm than good. Instead, it encourages forgiveness and finding healthier ways to address conflicts.

Sex is metaphysical for men, as it is not for women. Women have no problem to solve through sex. Physically and psychologically, they are serenely self-contained. They may choose to achieve, but they do not need it. They are not thrust into the beyond by their own fractious bodies. But men are out of balance; they must quest, pursue, court, or seize.... How often one spots a male pigeon making desperate, self-inflating sallies toward the female, as again and again she turns her back on him and nonchalantly marches away. But by concentration and insistence he may carry the day. Nature has blessed him with an obliviousness to his own absurdity.
