Famous quotes containing the words flag and/or officer:
“Here, the flag snaps in the glare and silence
Of the unbroken ice. I stand here,
The dogs bark, my beard is black, and I stare
At the North Pole. . .
And now what? Why, go back.
Turn as I please, my step is to the south.”
—Randall Jarrell (19141965)
“Oh hes doing fine, Michael. Nevertheless, hes an officer and a gentleman, and thats no job for a gentleman.”
—Frank S. Nugent (19081965)
