Famous quotes containing the word shooting:

    “... though it is by no means requisite that the American women should emulate the men in the pursuit of the whale, the felling of the forest, or the shooting of wild turkeys, they might, with advantage, be taught in early youth to excel in the race, to hit a mark, to swim, and in short to use every exercise which could impart vigor to their frames and independence to their minds.”
    —Frances Wright (1795–1852)

    “My time has come.
    There are twenty people in my belly,
    there is a magnitude of wings,
    there are forty eyes shooting like arrows,
    and they will all be born.
    All be born in the yellow wind.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Writing or printing is like shooting with a rifle; you may hit your reader’s mind, or miss it;Mbut talking is like playing at a mark with the pipe of an engine; if it is within reach, and you have time enough, you can’t help hitting it.”
    —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
