Famous quotes containing the words heavy and/or weapons:
“Thus Winter falls,
A heavy gloom oppressive o’er the world
Through Nature shedding influence malign,
And rouses up the seeds of dark disease.
The soul of man dies in him, loathing life,
And black with more than melancholy views.”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)
“I have always been of the mind that in a democracy manners are the only effective weapons against the bowie-knife.”
