Famous quotes containing the words killing and/or star:
“At twelve I was determined to shoot only
For honor; at twenty not to shoot at all;
I know at thirty-three that one must shoot
As often as one gets the rare chance—
In killing there is more than commentary.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“It’s better to star in Oshkosh than to starve on Broadway.”
