Bomb/shock

Famous quotes containing the words bomb and/or shock:

““... There, there,
What you complain of, all the nations share.
Their effort is a mounting ecstasy
That when it gets too exquisite to bear
Will find relief in one burst. You shall see.
That’s what a certain bomb was sent to be.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“There are persons who, when they cease to shock us, cease to interest us.”
