Hollow Point Bullet

Famous quotes containing the words hollow, point and/or bullet:

    “I often look upon a face

    Where eyes and nose had sometimes been;”
    —Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)

    “Modernity exists in the form of a desire to wipe out whatever came earlier, in the hope of reaching at least a point that could be called a true present, a point of origin that marks a new departure.”
    —Paul De Man (1919–1983)

    “Consider his life which was valueless
    In terms of employment, hotel ledgers, news files.
    Consider. One bullet in ten thousand kills a man.
    Ask. Was so much expenditure justified
    On the death of one so young and so silly
    Lying under the olive tree, O world, O death?”
    —Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
