Kick/history

Famous quotes containing the words kick and/or history:

“I had to kick their law into their teeth in order to save them.

Devilishly with drowning men in order to swim them to shore.
Or they will haul themselves and you to the trash and the fish beneath.”

“English history is all about men liking their fathers, and American history is all about men hating their fathers and trying to burn down everything they ever did.”
