Phantom/military

Famous quotes containing the words phantom and/or military:

    Art has a double face, of expression and illusion, just like science has a double face: the reality of error and the phantom of truth.
    René Daumal (1908–1944)

    Personal prudence, even when dictated by quite other than selfish considerations, surely is no special virtue in a military man; while an excessive love of glory, impassioning a less burning impulse, the honest sense of duty, is the first.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
