False Killer Whales

Famous quotes containing the words false, killer and/or whales:

    The whole fauna of human fantasies, their marine vegetation, drifts and luxuriates in the dimly lit zones of human activity, as though plaiting thick tresses of darkness. Here, too, appear the lighthouses of the mind, with their outward resemblance to less pure symbols. The gateway to mystery swings open at the touch of human weakness and we have entered the realms of darkness. One false step, one slurred syllable together reveal a man’s thoughts.
    Louis Aragon (1897–1982)

    If someone is burdened with the blood of another, let that killer be a fugitive until death; let no one offer assistance.
    Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 28:17.

    America loves the representation of its heroes to be not just larger than life, but stupendously, awesomely bigger than anything else. If blue whales built statues to each other they’d be smaller then these.
    Simon Hoggart (b. 1946)
