Famous quotes by sydney boehm:
“Needles in a heavenly haystack. There are more stars in the heavens than there are human beings on earth.”
—Sydney Boehm (1908–1990)
“You’ve spent too much time with the stars. You don’t know anything about living, the law of the jungle, the human jungle. I do, I’ve spent my life at it. You don’t know what your civilized people will do to cling to life. I do, because I know I’d cling if I had to kill to do it. And so will you.”
—Sydney Boehm (1908–1990)
