Famous quotes containing the words armed and/or forces:

    A woman’s beauty is a storm-tossed banner;
    Under it wisdom stands, and I alone
    Of all Arabia’s lovers I alone
    Nor dazzled by the embroidery, nor lost
    In the confusion of its night-dark folds,
    Can hear the armed man speak.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    And whoever forces himself to love anybody
    begets a murderer in his own body.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
