Mock Weapons

Famous quotes containing the words mock and/or weapons:

“For ever will I sleep, while poor maids cry,
Alas, for pity stay,
And let us die
With thee, men cannot mock us in the clay.”

“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)
