Famous quotes containing the words black and/or army:

    By dying I wanted to maintain my honor, and hide a flame so black from the daylight!
    Jean Racine (1639–1699)

    He could jazz up the map-reading class by having a full-size color photograph of Betty Grable in a bathing suit, with a co- ordinate grid system laid over it. The instructor could point to different parts of her and say, “Give me the co-ordinates.”... The Major could see every unit in the Army using his idea.... Hot dog!
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
