Hollow Point Bullet

“The style, the house and grounds, and “entertainment” pass for nothing with me. I called on the king, but he made me wait in his hall, and conducted like a man incapacitated for hospitality. There was a man in my neighborhood who lived in a hollow tree. His manners were truly regal. I should have done better had I called on him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“It is not he who gains the exact point in dispute who scores most in controversy—but he who has shown the better temper.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

“It’s not the bullet with my name on it that worries me. It’s the one that says “To whom it may concern.””
—Anonymous Belfast Resident. quoted in Guardian (London, Oct. 16, 1991)
