Do you have more details about the quote "Revenge is sweet and not fattening." by Alfred Hitchcock?
Alfred Hitchcock45
British filmmaker 1899–1980Related quotes
G. K. Chesterton (1874–1936) English mystery novelist and Christian apologist
Poems (1917), The Great Minimum
Context: In a time of sceptic moths and cynic rusts,
And fattened lives that of their sweetness tire
In a world of flying loves and fading lusts,
It is something to be sure of a desire.
Lo, blessed are our ears for they have heard;
Yea, blessed are our eyes for they have seen:
Let the thunder break on man and beast and bird
And the lightning. It is something to have been.
“Revenge is not always sweet: once it is consummated we feel inferior to our victim.”
