Famous quotes containing the words aerial and/or naval:

    Every year lays more earth upon us, which weighs us down from aerial regions, till we go under the earth at last.
    —E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)

    We used to feel the awe of the distant stars upon us. All that led to was the eighty-eight naval guns, ersatz, and the night air-raids over cities. A magnificent spectacle.
    After the collapse of the socialist dream, I came to America.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
