Famous quotes containing the words killed, action, world and/or war:

    “What shall he have that killed the deer?
    His leather skin and horns to wear.
    Then sing him home.
    Take thou no scorn to wear the horn,
    It was a crest ere thou wast born;
    Thy father’s father wore it,
    And thy father bore it.
    The horn, the horn, the lusty horn
    Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “A dramatist is one who believes that the pure event, an action involving human beings, is more arresting than any comment that can be made upon it.”
    —Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)

    “The world only goes round by misunderstanding.”
    —Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    “Combativeness was, I suppose, the dominant trait in my grandmother’s nature. An aggressive churchgoer, she was quite without Christian feeling; the mercy of the Lord Jesus had never entered her heart. Her piety was an act of war against Protestant ascendancy. ...The teachings of the Church did not interest her, except as they were a rebuke to others ...”
    —Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
