Offensive Biological Weapons

Famous quotes containing the words offensive, biological and/or weapons:

    “There is something about the literary life that repels me, all this desperate building of castles on cobwebs, the long-drawn acrimonious struggle to make something important which we all know will be gone forever in a few years, the miasma of failure which is to me almost as offensive as the cheap gaudiness of popular success.”
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    “No poetic phantasy
    but a biological reality,
    a fact: I am an entity
    like bird, insect, plant
    or sea-plant cell;
    I live; I am alive.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “Never had he found himself so close to those terrible weapons of feminine artillery.”
    —Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
