Blow

Famous quotes containing the word blow:

“[Humanity] has unquestionably one really effective weapon—laughter. Power, money, persuasion, supplication, persecution—these can lift at a colossal humbug—push it a little—weaken it a little, century by century; but only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

“Look, mister, I’m so tired you’d be doin’ me a big favor if you’d blow my head off.”
—Samuel Fuller (b. 1911)

“The name of a man is a numbing blow from which he never recovers.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
