Famous quotes containing the words air and, air, naval and/or bases:
“All things are flowing, even those that seem immovable. The adamant is always passing into smoke. The plants imbibe the materials which they want from the air and the ground.

After the collapse of the socialist dream, I came to America.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“In the beginning was the word, the word

—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
