Quotes About Weapons

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. Beggars and gentlemen and princes hurried to see people killing each other in revenge.

Gilberto lo dijo en el Campo: Nosotros siempre estamos armados con nuestros ideales. El 2 de octubre no teníamos otras armas.

from the Stone Age on, the weapons of war and the chase have been interchangeable, and one activity has been a preparation and training for the other. In modern war we learn to kill each other at great distances and on a scale which actually threatens the life of our own species. In intervals of peace we proceed to turn the technology so developed … against the lower animals.
~ Roy Bedichek

Hunting and fishing involve killing animals with devices (such as guns) for which the animals have not evolved natural defenses.

~ Marc Bekoff

We do like to have such good opinions of our own motives when we're about to do something harmful, to someone else. But as Mr. Erskine also pointed out, Eros with his bow and arrows is not the only blind god. Justitia is the other one. Clumsy blind gods with edged weapons: Justicia totes a sword, which, coupled with her blindfold, is a pretty good recipe for cutting yourself.
~ Margaret Atwood
I did believe, at first, that I wanted only justice. I thought my heart was pure. We do like to have such good opinions of our motives when we're about to do something harmful, to someone else. But as Mr. Erskine also pointed out, Eros with his bow and arrows is not the only blind god. Justitia is the other one. Clumsy blind gods with edged weapons: Justitia totes a sword, which, coupled with her blindfold, is a pretty good recipe for cutting yourself.
~ Margaret Atwood
