Famous quotes containing the word arms:
“Ambivalence reaches the level of schizophrenia in our treatment of violence among the young. Parents do not encourage violence, but neither do they take up arms against the industries which encourage it. Parents hide their eyes from the books and comics, slasher films, videos and lyrics which form the texture of an adolescent culture. While all successful societies have inhibited instinct, ours encourages it. Or at least we profess ourselves powerless to interfere with it.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“The use of arms is ownership
Of the appropriate gun. It is ownership that brings
Victory that is not hinted at in Das Kapital.
I think there is never but one true war
So let us as you desire perfect our trade.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
“In Arms not worse, in foresight much advanct,
We may with more successful hope resolve
To wage by force or guile eternal Warr
Irreconcileable, to our grand Foe,”
—John Milton (16081674)
