Famous quotes containing the words air and/or army:

    “O, when mine eyes did see Olivia first,
    Methought she purged the air of pestilence;
    That instant was I turned into a hart,
    And my desires, like fell and cruel hounds,
    E’er since pursue me.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “An army without culture is a dull-witted army, and a dull-witted army cannot defeat the enemy.”
    —Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
