Machine Guns Defeated

Famous quotes containing the words machine, guns and/or defeated:

    All day long the machine waits: rooms,
    stairs, carpets, furniture, people
    those people who stand at the open windows like objects
    waiting to topple.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn’t do it. I sure as hell wouldn’t want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military.
    William Burroughs (b. 1914)

    Lest darkness fall and time fall
    In a long night when learned arteries
    Mounting the ice and sum of barbarous time
    Shall yield, without essence, perfect accident.
    We are the eyelids of defeated caves.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
