Interesting Quotes About Revenge - But Not Necessarily Inspirational
My interest in putting together a list of quotes about revenge was for one reason and one reason only - as a writer I needed some for an intro to my book. Virtually all writers, regardless of the types of stories they write, deals with the theme of revenge or anger at one point or another in their careers. Such quotes are not always the easiest to find, but those of us who are looking for them appreciate articles like this. I've decided to share a few of my personal favorites with you. I hope you find them useful and they make your characters come alive for the reader.
