Famous quotes containing the words air, force, ranks and/or india:

    For in the air all lovers meet
    After they’ve hated out their love....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Temptation is an irresistible force at work on a movable body.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

    But nothing in India is identifiable, the mere asking of a question causes it to disappear or to merge in something else.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
