Bore Match Rifle

Famous quotes containing the words bore, match and/or rifle:

    “So we may never
    Again feel fully confident of the stratagem that bore us
    And lived on a certain time after that. And it went away
    Little by little, as most things do. To profit
    By this mainstream is today’s chore and adventure.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “When they turn the sun
    on again I’ll plant children
    under it, I’ll light up my soul
    with a match and let it sing....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Truth is his inspirer, and earnestness the polisher of his sentences. He could afford to lose his Sharp’s rifles, while he retained his faculty of speech,—a Sharp’s rifle of infinitely surer and longer range.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
