Famous quotes containing the word arms:

    ““Vengeance upon the murderers,” the cry goes up,
    “Vengeance for Jacques Molay.” In cloud-pale rags, or in lace,
    The rage-driven, rage-tormented, and rage-hungry troop,
    Trooper belabouring trooper, biting at arm or at face,
    Plunges towards nothing, arms and fingers spreading wide
    For the embrace of nothing....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why,
    I have forgotten, and what arms have lain
    Under my head till morning; out the rain
    Is full of ghosts tonight,”
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    “Ambivalence reaches the level of schizophrenia in our treatment of violence among the young. Parents do not encourage violence, but neither do they take up arms against the industries which encourage it. Parents hide their eyes from the books and comics, slasher films, videos and lyrics which form the texture of an adolescent culture. While all successful societies have inhibited instinct, ours encourages it. Or at least we profess ourselves powerless to interfere with it.”
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)
