Famous quotes containing the words combat and/or talon:
“In case I conk out, this is provisionally what I have to do: I must clarify obscurities; I must make clearer definite ideas or dissociations. I must find a verbal formula to combat the rise of brutality—the principle of order versus the split atom.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“As well have a talon as a finger, a muzzle as a mouth,
as well have a hollow as a heart.”
—Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
