Famous quotes containing the words air and/or war:

    “A hook shot kisses the rim and
    hangs there, helplessly, but doesn’t drop

    and for once our gangly starting center
    boxes out his man and times his jump

    perfectly, gathering the orange leather
    from the air like a cherished possession”
    —Edward Hirsch (b. 1950)

    “In war personal revenge maintains its silence.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
