Famous quotes containing the words the first and/or wave:

    “You survived because you were the first.
    You survived because you were the last.
    Because alone. Because the others.
    Because on the left. Because on the right.
    Because it was raining. Because it was sunny.
    Because a shadow fell.”
    —Wislawa Szymborska (b. 1923)

    “I sometimes compare press officers to riflemen on the Somme—mowing down wave upon wave of distortion, taking out rank upon rank of supposition, deduction and gossip.”
    —Bernard Ingham (b. 1932)
