Normal Shot

Famous quotes containing the words normal and/or shot:

“Nothing is poetical if plain daylight is not poetical; and no monster should amaze us if the normal man does not amaze.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

“We talk about a representative government; but what a monster of a government is that where the noblest faculties of the mind, and the whole heart, are not represented! A semihuman tiger or ox, stalking over the earth, with its heart taken out and the top of its brain shot away. Heroes have fought well on their stumps when their legs were shot off, but I never heard of any good done by such a government as that.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
