Famous quotes containing the words weapons and/or popular:
“Advertisers are the interpreters of our dreamsJoseph interpreting for Pharaoh. Like the movies, they infect the routine futility of our days with purposeful adventure. Their weapons are our weaknesses: fear, ambition, illness, pride, selfishness, desire, ignorance. And these weapons must be kept as bright as a sword.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
“The very nursery tales of this generation were the nursery tales of primeval races. They migrate from east to west, and again from west to east; now expanded into the tale divine of bards, now shrunk into a popular rhyme.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
