Famous quotes containing the words air and/or war:

    “With your air indifferent and imperious

    And—”Are we then so serious?”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    There is great fear expressed on all sides lest this war shall be made a war for the negro. I am willing that it shall be. It is a war to found an empire on the negro in slavery, and shame on us if we do not make it a war to establish the negro in freedom—against whom the whole nation, North and South, East and West, in one mighty conspiracy, has combined from the beginning.
    Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
