Arms

Famous quotes containing the word arms:

    A fortified town is like a man cased in the heavy armor of antiquity, with a horse-load of broadswords and small arms slung to him, endeavoring to go about his business.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    in my arms till break of day
    Let the living creature lie,
    Mortal, guilty, but to me
    The entirely beautiful.

    Soul and body have no bounds:
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    Action is at bottom a swinging and flailing of the arms to regain one’s balance and keep afloat.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
