Bombs Quotes

A word used both literally and as metaphor, read here without spectacle.

These bombs quotes are grouped for the word itself, not a single viewpoint, and range from a blunt assessment that bombs alone won't fix ISIS to a writer reframing their own books as the real bombs, meaning impact through ideas rather than violence. Context matters throughout, so each line is presented as its speaker intended it. See Books quotes for that same metaphor in full.
