Famous quotes containing the words battle and/or fort:

    “I’m out of repair
    but you are tall in your battle dress
    and I must arrange for your journey.
    I was always a virgin,
    old and pitted.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “‘Tis said of love that it sometimes goes, sometimes flies; runs with one, walks gravely with another; turns a third into ice, and sets a fourth in a flame: it wounds one, another it kills: like lightning it begins and ends in the same moment: it makes that fort yield at night which it besieged but in the morning; for there is no force able to resist it.”
    —Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
