Famous quotes containing the words hot and/or flash:

    One ... aspect of the case for World War II is that while it was still a shooting affair it taught us survivors a great deal about daily living which is valuable to us now that it is, ethically at least, a question of cold weapons and hot words.
    M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)

    So, she will never leap up that way again, with the yellow flash of
    a mountain lion’s long shoot!
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
