Famous quotes containing the words dines and/or shooting:

    “Take adultery or theft.
    Merely sins.
    It is evil who dines on the soul,
    stretching out its long bone tongue.
    It is evil who tweezers my heart,
    picking out its atomic worms.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “I’ll tell you one thing. If a little green man pops out at me I’m shooting first and asking questions later.”
    —Edward D. Wood, Jr. (1922–1978)
