Famous quotes containing the words air and/or combat:

    “Mothers of America
    let your kids go to the movies!
    get them out of the house so they won’t know what you’re up to
    it’s true that fresh air is good for the body
    but what about the soul
    that grows in darkness, embossed by silvery images”
    —Frank O’Hara (1926–1966)

    “The combat ended for want of combatants.”
    —Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
