A toothache, or a violent passion, is not necessarily diminished by our knowledge of its causes, its character, its importance or insignificance.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Faced with the choice of enduring a bad toothache or going to the dentist, we generally tried to ride out the bad tooth.
The grinding of the intellect is for most people as painful as a dentist's drill.
Nevertheless the passions, whether violent or not, should never be so expressed as to reach the point of causing disgust; and music, even in situations of the greatest horror, should never be painful to the ear but should flatter and charm it, and thereby always remain music.
I am so stressed that my dentist told me I am grinding my teeth due to stress. So, every evening, I get shooting pain from my jaw to my head.
Having passion does not mean you have to descend into bickering and fighting.
Losing my teeth didn't impede my acting, but it was a constant worry and meant I was never completely relaxed.
Writing a novel is a terrible experience, during which the hair often falls out and the teeth decay.
Passion is very destructive.
Anger is the most impotent of passions. It effects nothing it goes about, and hurts the one who is possessed by it more than the one against whom it is directed.
There are men so philosophical that they can see humor in their own toothaches. But there has never lived a man so philosophical that he could see the toothache in his own humor.
