Famous quotes containing the words royal, air, force and/or flights:

    “Are you there, Africa with the bulging chest and oblong thigh? Sulking Africa, wrought of iron, in the fire, Africa of the millions of royal slaves, deported Africa, drifting continent, are you there? Slowly you vanish, you withdraw into the past, into the tales of castaways, colonial museums, the works of scholars.”
    —Jean Genet (1910–1986)

    “It’s a perfect night for mystery and horror. The air itself is filled with monsters.”
    —William Hurlbut (1883–?)

    “We do not wish to injure you.... But if you again plunge your knives into the breasts of our people, I shall send a force which will severely punish you for your cruelties.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    “Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince,
    And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
