Famous quotes containing the words parachute and/or badge:
“I did not just fall in love. I made a parachute jump.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“Signor Antonio, many a time and oft
In the Rialto you have rated me
About my moneys and my usances.
Still have I borne it with a patient shrug,
For sufferance is the badge of all our tribe.
You call me misbeliever, cutthroat dog,
And spit upon my Jewish gaberdine,
And all for use of that which is mine own.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
