Bullet Drop

Famous quotes containing the words bullet and/or drop:

“Literary gentlemen, editors, and critics think that they know how to write, because they have studied grammar and rhetoric; but they are egregiously mistaken.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Don’t let young people tell you their aspirations; when they drop them they will drop you.”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
