Pistol Individual

Famous quotes containing the words pistol and/or individual:

“The Germans are called brutal, the Spanish cruel, the Americans superficial, and so on; but we are perfide Albion, the island of hypocrites, the people who have built up an Empire with a Bible in one hand, a pistol in the other, and financial concessions in both pockets. Is the charge true? I think it is.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)

“The trouble with the sacred Individual is that he has no significance, except as he can acquire it from others, from the social whole.”
—Bernard Devoto (1897–1955)
