Someday, I have no doubt, the dead from today's wars will be seen with a similar sense of sorrow at needless loss and folly as those millions of men who lie in the cemeteries of France and Belgium - and tens of millions of Americans will feel a similar revulsion for the politicians and generals who were so spendthrift with others' lives.

American Writer

Michael Wolff

What's wrong with politics in the celebrity billionaire analysis is politicians. Populism is not so much a cry for economic equality, or even a disdain for elites, but a mass revulsion against the inauthenticity of politicians. Celebrities are real celebrities, politicians are fake ones.

Many times, I have been shocked and frightened by human beings. I have experienced delight and revulsion. I have sometimes wanted to forget what I heard, to return to a time when I lived in ignorance. More than once, however, I have seen the sublime in people and wanted to cry.

We watch a romantic comedy because we want to cry, say, or an action movie so we can participate in heroics. Horror's different. It can hit you with a moment of revulsion so hard you might want to erase the last five minutes of your life, please.

Daniel Ellsberg

My feelings of revulsion and foreboding about nuclear weapons had not changed an iota since 1945, and they have never left me. Since I was 14, the overriding objective of my life has been to prevent the occurrence of nuclear war.

Anytime you work with materials that are deep parts of yourself, you feel revulsion at showing things about yourself that you don't want people to know.

Dario Argento

Horror by definition is the emotion of pure revulsion. Terror of the same standard, is that of fearful anticipation.

The mark of our time is its revulsion against imposed patterns.

Canadian Sociologist

Use 'revulsion' to describe a very intense feeling of dislike, stronger than 'disgust'.

Intensity Matters

'Revulsion' is too strong to describe a mild dislike; it's used for extreme cases.

Not Mild Dislike

Revulsion encompasses both an emotional and a physical reaction of strong disgust.

Emotional Response

In medical context, 'revulsion' means a physical act, not an emotional response.

Medical Specificity

Don't confuse medical 'revulsion' with emotional disgust; they're different uses of the word.

Not Emotional

Use this sense of 'revulsion' in technical or clinical discussions, not in everyday language.
