Famous quotes containing the words type and/or gun:
“I can barely conceive of a type of beauty in which there is no Melancholy.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its labourers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.”
—Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969)
