Blast Beats

Famous quotes containing the words blast and/or beats:

    When the blast of war blows in our ears,
    Then imitate the action of the tiger;
    Stiffen the sinews, conjure up the blood,
    Disguise fair nature with hard-favored rage;
    Then lend the eye a terrible aspect.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Pale Death beats equally at the poor man’s gate and at the palaces of kings.
    Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)
