But the unnecessary expansion of industrial plants, the waste of natural resources, the exploitation of the consumers of natural monopolies, the accumulation of stagnant surpluses, child labor, and the ruthless exploitation of all labor, the encouragement of speculation with other people's money, these were consumed in the fires that they themselves kindled; we must make sure that as we reconstruct our life there be no soil in which such weeds can grow again.
He was haggard and hollow-eyed, hard, ruthless, desperate. He saw into the future, he saw the land he loved, the land he dreamed of the Union! She stretched out her arms to him; she cried with the voices of unborn ages, she wrung her hands in the agony of her despair.
Throughout his long life a terror to all whites he doubtless had been; upon us he was stealthily slipping, ruthless as a tiger; but then he and his tribesmen and lands had so long been prey to the greed of white invaders of his domain that it is hard to blame him for fighting, according to the traditions of his race, to the death.

He shook his head; he refused to conciliate.
She remembered now the expression in his almond-shaped eyes when he had returned her salutation an unfathomable expression of ruthless understanding that stripped her nature bare of all disguises, and seemed to leave it as it was for all the men of this land to see. Ibrahim's eyes never could look like Hamza's. And yet between Ibrahim and Hamza what essential difference was there!
Siddons had spoken her resolution to leave Hampton gained such definite ascendancy that her departure seemed only a matter of hours.

A longing for retaliation consumed her; she wished to hurt him before she left.
Perplexed By this terrific dream my husband sought The counsels of the mystic art, and thus Pronounced the sage: "If I a daughter bore, The murderess of his sons, the destined spring Of ruin to our house, the baleful child Should see the light." What hast thou said, my mistress? Woe! Woe! ISABELLA. For this her ruthless father spoke The dire behest of death.
