Famous quotes containing the words repeating and/or rifle:
“Alone with our madness and favorite flower
We see that there really is nothing left to write about.

In the same way, repeating the same things over and over
For love to continue and be gradually different.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Truth is his inspirer, and earnestness the polisher of his sentences. He could afford to lose his Sharps rifles, while he retained his faculty of speech,a Sharps rifle of infinitely surer and longer range.”
