Famous quotes containing the words air and/or army:

    “By the roadside a hideous carrion, quivering
    On a clean bed of pebbly clay,
    Her legs flexed in the air like a courtesan,
    Burning and sweating venomously,
    Calmly exposed its belly, ironic and wan,
    Clamorous with foul ecstasy.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “The army is the true nobility of our country.”
    —Napoleon Bonaparte III (1808–1873)
