Famous quotes containing the words kingfisher and/or class:
“the mud
Flies from his hunching wings and beakmy heart,
The blue kingfisher dives on you in fire.”
—Robert Lowell (19171977)
“He could jazz up the map-reading class by having a full-size color photograph of Betty Grable in a bathing suit, with a co- ordinate grid system laid over it. The instructor could point to different parts of her and say, Give me the co-ordinates.... The Major could see every unit in the Army using his idea.... Hot dog!”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
