It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills. Buddha Politics are very much like war. We may even have to use poison gas at times. Winston Churchill Men become accustomed to poison by degrees. Victor Hugo Belladonna, n.: In Italian a beautiful lady; in English a deadly poison. A striking example of the essential identity of the two tongues. Ambrose Bierce |
