Blue Elephant Gun

Famous quotes containing the words blue, elephant and/or gun:

    The blue we bathe in is the blue we breathe. The blue we breathe, I fear, is what we want from life and only find in fiction. For the voyeur, fiction is what’s called going all the way.
    William Gass (b. 1924)

    So slowly the hot elephant hearts
    grow full of desire,
    and the great beasts mate in secret at last,
    hiding their fire.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its labourers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
    Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969)
