Army Rockets

Famous quotes containing the words army and/or rockets:

“Roach, foulest of creatures,
who attacks with yellow teeth
and an army of cousins big as shoes ...”

“The Thirties dreamed white marble and slipstream chrome, immortal crystal and burnished bronze, but the rockets on the Gernsback pulps had fallen on London in the dead of night, screaming. After the war, everyone had a car—no wings for it—and the promised superhighway to drive it down, so that the sky itself darkened, and the fumes ate the marble and pitted the miracle crystal.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
