Famous quotes containing the words air, standard, rocket and/or motor:

    No jutty, frieze,
    Buttress, nor coign of vantage, but this bird

    Where they most breed and haunt, I have observed
    The air is delicate.

    A rocket is a reed that thinks brilliantly.
    José Bergamín (1895–1983)

    Like a bad bird in a dream.
