Famous quotes containing the words american, combat and/or jumps:
“In European thought in general, as contrasted with American, vigor, life and originality have a kind of easy, professional utterance. American—on the other hand, is expressed in an eager amateurish way. A European gives a sense of scope, of survey, of consideration. An American is strained, sensational. One is artistic gold; the other is bullion.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“In any combat between a rogue and a fool the sympathy of mankind is always with the rogue.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“Stiff springy jumps down the snowfields
Head held back, forefeet out,
Balls tight in a tough hair sack”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
