Famous quotes containing the words spectre and/or gun:

    The acorn’s not yet
    Fallen from the tree
    That’s to grow the wood,
    That’s to make the cradle,
    That’s to rock the bairn,
    That’s to grow a man,
    That’s to lay me.
    —Unknown. The Cauld Lad of Hilton or, The Wandering Spectre (l. 2–8)

    I’d like to say I didn’t intend to kill her. But when you have a gun ... you always intend ... when you have to.
    Ketti Frings (1915–1981)
