Family emotional blackmail quotes

It may seem weird, but family members can also be manipulative sometimes. Here are family emotional blackmail quotes:

 

“What is certain is that he [the baby] has too much attention from the one person who is entirely at his disposal. The intimacy between mother and child is not sustaining and healthy. The child learns to exploit his mother’s accessibility, badgering her with questions and demands which are not of any real consequence to him, embarrassing her in public, blackmailing her into buying sweets and carrying him.” Author: Germaine Greer

“Kodan: “I had the good sense to win the hand of a woman as smart and kind as she is beautiful. If not more so.”Tava: “You mean you had the wit to blackmail me into following you home, where you promptly stole my heart,” she teased.Kodan: “That, too,” he agreed. “But I didn’t steal your heart. I merely exchanged it for mine.” Author: Jean Johnson

“Knowledge of my atrocious selfishness settled on me. All those bitter home truths she had flung at me, right from the beginning…and still loved me; was so blind that she still loved me. One day she had said: When you love me (and she had not meant “make love to me”) it’s as if God forgave me for being the mess I am; and I took it as chicanery, another emotional blackmail, to make me feel essential and so give me a sense of responsibility towards her.” Author: John Fowles

Following family emotional blackmail quotes explain well how family members can prove manipulative:

“Normally, anything is done in the name of ‘the kids’ strikes me as either slightly sentimental or faintly sinister—that redolence of moral blackmail that adheres to certain charitable appeals and certain kinds of a politician. (Not for nothing is baby-kissing the synonym for public insincerity.)”

“[T]he very multiculturalism and multiethnicity that brought Salman to the West, and that also made us richer by Hanif Kureishi, Nadeem Aslam, Vikram Seth, Monica Ali, and many others, is now one of the disguises for a uniculturalism, based on moral relativism and moral blackmail (in addition to some more obvious blackmail of the less moral sort) whereby the Enlightenment has been redefined as ‘white’ and ‘oppressive,’ mass illegal immigration threatens to spoil everything for everybody, and the figure of the free-floating transnational migrant has been deposed by the contorted face of the psychopathically religious international nihilist, praying for the day when his messianic demands will coincide with possession of an apocalyptic weapon. (These people are called nihilists for nothing.) Of all of this, we were warned, and Salman was the messenger. Mutato nomine et de te Fabula narrator: Change only the name, and this story is about you.” Author: Christopher Hitchens

Lady Macbeth emotional blackmail quotes

The following are my favorite Lady Macbeth emotional blackmail quotes:

A child becomes an adult when he realizes that he has a right not only to be right but also to be wrong. — Thomas Szasz

“Yet I do fear thy nature. It is too full of the milk of human kindness To catch the nearest way. Thou wouldst be great, art not without ambition, but without the illness that should attend it.”

“Look like the’ innocent flower, but be the serpent under ’t.”

“We fail? But screw your courage to the sticking-place, and we’ll not fail.”

“What beast wasn’t then? That made you break this enterprise to me?”

“This the eye of childhood, That fears a painted devil.”

“Hie thee hither,

That I may pour my spirits in thine ear

And chastise with the valor of my tongue.

All that impedes thee from the golden round.”

Or even just to be shielded by a story, to slip inside a story and stop being recognizable, controllable, subject to blackmail.” Author: Fabrizio De André

“Since the Heart of Consequence was ripped out of the churches, even the stars shine crooked in the skies. Everyone goes to church to gossip and envy each other’s hats, but the heart has gone out of it. This country is like an old mother dying, and nobody cares enough to save her because they are too busy going through her purse. Every city is a snake’s nest of pillagers, pickpockets, anglers, cheats, cardsharps, harlots, forgers, smugglers, charlatans, footpads, highwaymen, blackmailers, pettifoggers, hedge-robbers and drunkards – you have seen all this for yourself. How can their soul survive when they have ripped out their Heart?” Author: Frances Hardinge

“The soap-box orators talked in the bitter cold at Marble Arch with their mackintoshes turned up around their Adam’s apples, and all down the road the cad cars waited for the right easy girls, and the cheap prostitutes sat hopelessly in the shadows, and the blackmailers kept an eye open on the grass where the deeds of darkness were quietly and unsatisfactorily accomplished.” Author: Graham Greene

Emotional blackmail examples quotes

“The days are gone forever when our enemies could blackmail us with nuclear bombs.” Author: Kim Jong Un

“?A farm is a manipulative creature. There is no such thing as finished. Work comes in a stream and has no end. There are only the things that must be done now and things that can be done later. The threat the farm has got on you, the one that keeps you running from can until can’t, is this: do it now, or some living thing will wilt or suffer or die. It’s blackmail, really.” Author: Kristin Kimball

“The next week, she withheld my paycheck until I signed a document (drafted by David) in which I promised not to marry Connor. Ever. I signed the document, took the check, and had David draft another document forbidding all Spellmans to practice any form of blackmail. David tried to explain to me that a contract in which you promise not to break the law is ultimately redundant, but I didn’t care.” Author: Lisa Lutz

“Charity is salt in the wound. It is painful. The state gives charity with the bitter hatred of a victim to his blackmailer. The receiver of free money is subjected to harassment, insult, and profound humiliation. Newspapers are enlisted to heap scorn on the arrogant bastards who choose to beg instead of starving or let their children starve. It is made clear that the poor seek charity as great and sordid chicanery in which they delight. And there are some who do. As there are people who take delight in sticking hot needles deep into their abdomens, swallow pieces of broken bottles. A special taste. Speaking for humanity in general, the poor accept charity with a shame and loss of self-respect that is truly pitiful.” Author: Mario Puzo

“But the captain just shook his head. “That’s very good of you to say, Cress. But trust me. I would have blackmailed someone.” Author: Marissa Meyer

“Either you want to try and blackmail me, or you’re hitting on me. Which is it?” Author: Melanie Tushmore

“The necessity of reform mustn’t be allowed to become a form of blackmail serving to limit, reduce, or halt the exercise of criticism. Under no circumstances should one pay attention to those who tell one: “Don’t criticize, since you’re not capable of carrying out a reform.” That’s ministerial cabinet talk. Critique doesn’t have to be the premise of a deduction that concludes, “this, then, is what needs to be done.” It should be an instrument for those who fight, those who resist and refuse what is. Its use should be in processes of conflict and confrontation, essays in refusal. It doesn’t have to lay down the law for the law. It isn’t a stage in programming. It is a challenge directed to what is.” Author: Michel Foucault

“Unless a person can give reasons, there is, literally, no reason why anyone else should take that person seriously. But without reason, all we are left with is emotional blackmail. We sometimes call it ‘moral blackmail,’ but it has nothing to do with morals, only with the implied juvenile threat of having a tantrum unless everyone else gives in.” Author: N.T. Wright

“Every love story, every commercial trade, every secret, every matter in which trust is involved, is a gentle transaction of hostages. Everything is, to a degree, in the custody of every other thing. Blackmail, kidnapping, then, are among the extreme violations of the deal. Anyway, I seem to be about to have Jim’s child; at least, I think I will, and the thing is, I haven’t mentioned it to Jim.” Author: Renata Adler

“Stoneville seems like a decent enough chap.”She stifled a hysterical laugh. “Oh, yes, quite decent. We met him in a brothel, and he’s blackmailing us into deceiving his grandmother.” Author: Sabrina Jeffries

“Alan: Conning people out of their savings. Forgery. Blackmail. Selling real estate on Mars. We could have it all. You with me, Bambi?”Sin: “Clive, I was with you from ‘I’m a social worker.” Author: Sarah Rees Brennan

“The bonds of friendship dwindle with age, Oliver. But a little blackmail lasts forever.” Author: Stephen Hunt

“I’ve never liked talking about my personal life, ever. Ever since I was 20, I’ve lived in a kind of public arena; and there have been stalkers, blackmailers, death threats, physical violence and threats to friends of mine, colleagues of mine, to myself.” Author: Timothy Dalton

“Sentimental blackmailing is the melodrama done by heart over our brain.” Author: Upasana Banerjee

“I’ll make you a little confession. I am not ashamed to use the word class. I will also plead guilty to another charge. The charge is that people belonging to my class think they’re better than other people. You’re damn right; we’re better. We’re better because we do not shirk our obligations either to ourselves or to others. We do not whine. We do not organize a minority group and blackmail the government. We do not prize mediocrity for mediocrity’s sake. Oh, I am aware that we hear a great many flattering things nowadays about your great common man – you know, it has already been revealing to me that he is perfectly content so to be called, because that is exactly what he is: the common man and when I say common I mean common as hell.” Author: Walker Percy
