How to use hellish in a sentence?

1. Dale Carnegie:

   When we hate our enemies, we are giving them power over us: power over our sleep, our appetites, our blood pressure, our health, and our happiness.

Our hate is not hurting them at all, but our hate is turning our own days and nights into a hellish turmoil.

2. Raoul Vaneigem:

   Work to survive, survive by consuming, survive to consume the hellish cycle is complete.

4. Barry Goldwater:

   Now those who seek absolute power, even though they seek it to do what they regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version of heaven on earth, and let me remind you they are the very ones who always create the most hellish tyranny.

5. Raoul Vaneigem:

   Work to survive, survive by consuming, survive to consume: the hellish cycle is complete.
