Gun Laying Radar

Famous quotes containing the words gun, laying and/or radar:

    Though I had not come a-hunting, and felt some compunctions about accompanying the hunters, I wished to see a moose near at hand, and was not sorry to learn how the Indian managed to kill one. I went as reporter or chaplain to the hunters,—and the chaplain has been known to carry a gun himself.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Geoff Carter: Got a match?
    Bonnie Lee: Say, don’t you ever have any?
    Geoff: No, don’t believe in laying in a supply of anything.
    Bonnie: Matches, marbles, money, women.
    Geoff: That’s right.
    Bonnie: No looking ahead, no tomorrows, just today.
    Geoff: That’s right.
    Jules Furthman (1888–1960)

    So I begin to understand why my mother’s radar is so sensitive to criticism. She still treads the well-worn ruts of her youth, when her impression of mother was of a woman hard to please, frequently negative, and rarely satisfied with anyone—least of all herself.
    Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
