Famous quotes containing the words fatal and/or bullet:
“Any defeat, however trivial, may be fatal to a savior of the plain people. They never admire a messiah with a bloody nose.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“Consider his life which was valueless
In terms of employment, hotel ledgers, news files.
Consider. One bullet in ten thousand kills a man.
Ask. Was so much expenditure justified
On the death of one so young and so silly
Lying under the olive tree, O world, O death?”
—Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
