Famous quotes containing the words dropped and/or bomb:
“Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind.”
—Wilfred Owen (18931918)
“Lincoln said, With malice toward none and with charity to all. Nowadays they say, Think the way I do or Ill bomb the daylights out of you.”
