English is full of booby traps for the unwary foreigner. Any language where the unassuming word fly signifies an annoying insect, a means of travel, and a critical part of a gentleman's apparel is clearly asking to be mangled.
Bill Bryson
Image
Christ came down to save us from a terrible hell, and any man who is cast down to hell from here must go in the full blaze of the gospel, and over the mangled body of the Son of God.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I have no interest at all in food and drink, but only in slaughter and blood and the agonized groans of mangled men
Homer
Image
I am young now and can look upon my body and soul with pride. But it will be mangled soon, and later it will begin to disintegrate, and then I shall die, and die conclusively. How can we face such a fact, and not live in fear?
Jack Kerouac
Image
If I could do it all over again, he said, his speech slow and vaguely mangled by his massive lower lip, I'd just let myself be trampled to death by the Satan Pig.
John Green
Image
The same powerful Scripture text that brings a loving person to even greater love will be mangled and misused by a fearful or egocentric person. This is surely what Jesus means when he talks about the one who has being given more and those who have not losing what little they have.
Richard Rohr
Image
After all, how many ways can one heart be mangled and still be expected to keep beating?
Stephenie Meyer
Image
I'd sooner be smashed into a mangled pulp by a bus when we cross the street than look forward to a life like yours.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
Of all the agonies in life, that which is most poignant and harrowing--that which for the time annihilates reason, and leaves our whole organization one lacerated, mangled heart--is the conviction that we have been deceived where we placed all the trust of love.
Bill Vaughan
Image
The torment of human frustration, whatever its immediate cause, is the knowledge that the self is in prison, its vital force and mangled mind leaking away in lonely, wasteful self-conflict.
Elizabeth Drew
Image
It is entirely seemly for a young man killed in battle to lie mangled by the bronze spear. In his death all things appear fair.
Homer
Image
Children drown, beautiful women are mangled in automobile accidents, cruise ships founder, and men die lingering deaths in mines and submarines, but you will find none of this in my accounts.
John Cheever
Image
All I need is a badly mangled, irate sentence stalking me.
Karen Marie Moning
Image
I'm always the one who gets killed. And I want it to be really gory. Body parts all over the place. Mangled!
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Image
We say, and we say openly, and while ye torture us, mangled and gory we cry out, We worship God through Christ! Believe Him a man: it is through Him and in Him that God willeth Himself to be known and worshipped.
Tertullian
Image
This mangled, smutted semi-world hacked out Of dirt . . . It is not possible for the moon To blot this with its dove-winged blendings.
Wallace Stevens
Image
I confess to wincing every so often at a poorly chosen word, a mangled sentence, an expression of emotion that seems indulgent or overly practiced. I have the urge to cut the book by fifty pages or so, possessed as I am with a keener appreciation for brevity.
