Famous quotes containing the words air and/or army:

    “A multitude of little superfluous precautions engender here a population of deputies and sub-officials, each of whom acquits himself with an air of importance and a rigorous precision, which seemed to say, though everything is done with much silence, “Make way, I am one of the members of the grand machine of state.””
    —Marquis De Custine (1790–1857)

    “Roach, foulest of creatures,
    who attacks with yellow teeth
    and an army of cousins big as shoes ...”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
