Famous quotes containing the words conventional and/or pistol:
“It will be a pity if women in the more conventional mould are to be phased out, for there will never be anyone to go home to.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1938)
“The Germans are called brutal, the Spanish cruel, the Americans superficial, and so on; but we are perfide Albion, the island of hypocrites, the people who have built up an Empire with a Bible in one hand, a pistol in the other, and financial concessions in both pockets. Is the charge true? I think it is.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
