Shock

Famous quotes containing the word shock:

    a fortress against ideas and against the
    Shuddering insidious shock of the theory-vendors
    The little sardine men crammed in a monster toy
    Who tilt their aggregate beast against our crumbling Troy.
    Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark.
    Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)

    Nothing can shock a brave man but dullness.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
