Famous quotes containing the words altitude, air and/or defense:

    On a level plain, simple mounds look like hills; and the insipid flatness of our present bourgeoisie is to be measured by the altitude of its “great intellects.”
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    Now Air is hush’d, save where the weak-ey’d Bat,
    With short shrill Shriek flits by on leathern Wing,
    Or where the Beetle winds
    His small but sullen Horn,
    William Collins (1721–1759)

    Hence that general is skilful in attack whose opponent does not know what to defend; and he is skilful in defense whose opponent does not know what to attack.
    Sun Tzu (6th–5th century B.C.)
