Bullet Drop

Famous quotes containing the words bullet and/or drop:

“Literary gentlemen, editors, and critics think that they know how to write, because they have studied grammar and rhetoric; but they are egregiously mistaken. The art of composition is as simple as the discharge of a bullet from a rifle, and its masterpieces imply an infinitely greater force behind them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“But the yellow antipodal Kangaroo, when she sits up,
Who can useat her, like a liquid drop that is heavy, and just
touches earth.”
