Tom Stoppard Quotes
[Christopher:] You Cannot Conceive Of The Quantity Of Explosives The Armies Throw At Each Other For Each Man Killed! The Shells Make A Continuous Noise, Sometimes Like An Enormous Machine Breaking Apart. At Other Times, They Come Whistling Towards You In A Thoughtful Sort Of Way And Then Go Crump And The Screw Cap Flies Off, Hurtling Through The Air, Screaming. There's A Kind Of Shell Which Comes With A Crescendo Like An Express Train, Only Faster. Another Kind Which Makes A Noise Like Tearing Calico, Louder And Louder. The Largest Kind Are The Ones Which Burst In The Sky And Make A Double Crack, Like A Wet Canvas Being Shaken Out By A Giant. Such Immense Explosions To Kill Such Small, Weak Animals.
