Jim Butcher, Cold Days“You see a wile, you thwart. Am I right?”
Terry Pratchett“Sabotage isolated them from their home, thwarting any hope of outside help. Frantic, unreliable sightings of frightening things – horrible things - led to chaos. The crew, terrified, opted to die fighting and went hunting for their attacker. Kaine’s only regret was that they found it. It killed them all.Systematically.”
Christina Engela, Demonspawn“The merely conscious being does not have a preference for continued life. Perhaps while having a pleasurable experience it has a preference for that experience to continue, or while having a painful experience it has a preference for that experience to end, but it will not have any preferences for the long-term future, and the desires it has do not survive periods of sleep or temporary unconsciousness, because unlike a self-aware being, it has no conception of its own future existence after a period of sleep. Thus if we are concerned only about the thwarting of preferences, for a merely conscious being, painless killing and administering an anesthetic seem to be equivalent. Killing does not thwart any more desires than putting the being to sleep. The being will be able to continue to satisfy its preferences after it awakes, but from the being's subjective perspective it is as if a new being, with new preferences, came into existence.”
Peter Singer, Practical Ethics“When you are thwarted, it is your own attitude that is out of order.”
Meister Eckhart“It is the very pursuit of happiness that thwarts happiness.”
Viktor Frankl“Cynics are simply thwarted romantics.”
William Goldman, The Princess Bride“Love is a madness if thwarted it develops fast.”
Mark Twain“Judgement is so often a thwarted, frustrated expression of envy.”
Elizabeth Winder, Pain, Parties, Work: Sylvia Plath in New York, Summer 1953“Only God can thwart the plans of Satan and his legions.”
