Pretender Shells

Famous quotes containing the words pretender and/or shells:

    Nature, hating art and pains,
    Baulks and baffles plotting brains;
    Casualty and Surprise
    Are the apples of her eyes;
    But she dearly loves the poor,
    And, by marvel of her own,
    Strikes the loud pretender down.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    We are going to pull out the plug. We have reached the point where shells do not hurt us any more.
    Michel Aoun (b. 1935)
