Small Black Powder

Famous quotes containing the words small, black and/or powder:

    “I am a writer and a feminist, and the two seem to be constantly in conflict.... ever since I became loosely involved with it, it has seemed to me one of the recurring ironies of this movement that there is no way to tell the truth about it without, in some small way, seeming to hurt it.”
    —Nora Ephron (b. 1941)

    “There with vast wings across the canceled skies,
    There in the sudden blackness the black pall
    Of nothing, nothing, nothing—nothing at all.”
    —Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)

    “Uncle Ben’s brass bullet-mould
    And powder horn, and Major Bogan’s face
    Above the fire, in the half-light, plainly said
    There’s naught to kill but the animated dead;”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
