Bullet Holes

Famous quotes containing the words bullet and/or holes:

    “Literary gentlemen, editors, and critics think that they know how to write, because they have studied grammar and rhetoric; but they are egregiously mistaken. The art of composition is as simple as the discharge of a bullet from a rifle, and its masterpieces imply an infinitely greater force behind them.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “But Father John went up,
    And Father John went down;
    And he wore small holes in his shoes,
    And he wore large holes in his gown.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
