Bombs

Famous quotes containing the word bombs:

    Hear the soft bombs of dust
    It bursts against us at the chimney mouth,
    And at the eaves. I like it from inside
    More than I shall out in it. But the horses
    Are rested and it’s time to say Good-night,
    And let you get to bed again,
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Civilization is maintained by a very few people in a small number of places and we need only some bombs and a few prisons to blot it out altogether.
    Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    I should think the American admiration of five-minute tourists has done more to kill the sacredness of old European beauty and aspiration than multitudes of bombs would have done.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
