Big Dangerous Weapon

Famous quotes containing the words big, dangerous and/or weapon:

    I hate England and its hopelessness. I hate [Arnold] Bennett’s resignation. Tragedy ought really to be a great big kick at misery.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Since love is folly, a foolish woman is more dangerous than a wise one.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    The aim of poetry, it appears, is to fill the mind with lofty thoughts—not to give it joy, but to give it a grand and somewhat gaudy sense of virtue. The essay is a weapon against the degenerate tendencies of the age. The novel, properly conceived, is a means of uplifting the spirit; its aim is to inspire, not merely to satisfy the low curiosity of man in man.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
