Famous quotes containing the words silent, thunder, killer and/or campaigns:
“They mustn’t know my despair, I can’t let them see the wounds which they have caused, I couldn’t bear their sympathy and their kind-hearted jokes, it would only make me want to scream all the more. If I talk, everyone thinks I’m showing off; when I’m silent they think I’m ridiculous; rude if I answer, sly if I get a good idea, lazy if I’m tired, selfish if I eat a mouthful more than I should, stupid, cowardly, crafty, etc. etc.”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
“There is not even silence in the mountains
But dry sterile thunder without rain
There is not even solitude in the mountains”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“If someone is burdened with the blood of another, let that killer be a fugitive until death; let no one offer assistance.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 28:17.
“That food has always been, and will continue to be, the basis for one of our greater snobbisms does not explain the fact that the attitude toward the food choice of others is becoming more and more heatedly exclusive until it may well turn into one of those forms of bigotry against which gallant little committees are constantly planning campaigns in the cause of justice and decency.”
—Cornelia Otis Skinner (1901–1979)
