Mock Weapons

Famous quotes containing the words mock and/or weapons:

“Oh! mock not the poniarded heart. The stabbed man knows the steel; prate not to him that it is only a ticking feather.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“Advertisers are the interpreters of our dreams—Joseph 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)
