Heavy Weapons

Famous quotes containing the words heavy and/or weapons:

    Two heavy trestles, and a board
    Where Sato’s gift, a changeless sword,
    By pen and paper lies,
    That it may moralise
    My days out of their aimlessness.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Advertisers are the interpreters of our dreams—Joseph interpreting for Pharaoh. Like the movies, they infect the routine futility of our days with purposeful adventure. Their weapons are our weaknesses: fear, ambition, illness, pride, selfishness, desire, ignorance. And these weapons must be kept as bright as a sword.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
