Small Black Powder

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

    A small town is automatically a world of pretense. Since everyone knows everyone else’s business, it becomes the job of the populace to act as if they don’t know what is going on instead of its being their job to try to find out.
    Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)

    By dying I wanted to maintain my honor, and hide a flame so black from the daylight!
    Jean Racine (1639–1699)

    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)
