Quick Gun

Famous quotes containing the words quick and/or gun:

“A quick caress she gives the rose,
Lilac, geranium all in season . . .
Oh, if she might have seen a reason
For powdering her nose!”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“As for fowling, during the last years that I carried a gun my excuse was that I was studying ornithology, and sought only new or rare birds. But I confess that I am now inclined to think that there is a finer way of studying ornithology than this. It requires so much closer attention to the habits of the birds, that, if for that reason only, I have been willing to omit the gun.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
