Rapid Fire Guns

Famous quotes containing the words rapid, fire and/or guns:

    It now appears that the negro race is, more than any other, susceptible of rapid civilization. The emancipation is observed, in the islands, to have wrought for the negro a benefit as sudden as when a thermometer is brought out of the shade into the sun. It has given him eyes and ears.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Love can no more continue without a constant motion than fire can; and when once you take hope and fear away, you take from it its very life and being.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn’t do it. I sure as hell wouldn’t want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military.
    William Burroughs (b. 1914)
