Weapons Quotes
The sponsors of war closely resemble the weapons they create. And smart bombs, depleted uranium, land mines, rockets and tanks, rather than protect 'widows and orphans and strangers at the gate', are designed precisely to create 'widows and orphans', to transform strangers into enemies and enemies into corpses.

And thus, gripping firmly these figments of his own imagination, Mr. Cheney lives on, in defiance, and spreads - around him and before him - darkness, like some contagion of fear.

Keith Olbermann
But then, in Piazza di Carbonara, from stones she moved on to weapons, and it became the place where men fought to the last drop of blood.

“My father had seen in a flash that they were all gunmen, so he told me to stand still, although we were right in a possible line of fire.

William S. Hart
