Famous quotes containing the words air and/or army:

    “More beautiful and soft than any moth
    With burring furred antennae feeling its huge path
    Through dusk, the air liner with shut-off engines
    Glides over suburbs”
    —Stephen Spender (1909–1995)

    “That’s what an army is—a mob; they don’t fight with courage that’s born in them, but with courage that’s borrowed from their mass, and from their officers.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
