Famous quotes containing the words kill and/or vehicle:

    “And I envy the intransigence of my own
    Countrymen who shoot to kill and never
    See the victim’s face become their own
    Or find his motive sabotage their motives.”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    “If you are to reach masses of people in this world, you must do it by a sign language. Whether your vehicle be commerce, literature, or politics, you can do nothing but raise signals, and make motions to the people.”
    —John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
