Fires Started

Famous quotes containing the words fires and/or started:

    Put in hours and hours of planning, figure everything down to the last detail, then what? Burglar alarms start going off all over the place for no sensible reason. A gun fires of its own accord and a man is shot. And a broken-down old house no good for anything but chasing kids has to trip over us. Blind accidents. What can you do against blind accidents?
    Ben Maddow (1909–1992)

    I have started to say
    “A quarter of a century”
    Or “thirty years back”
    About my own life.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
