Famous quotes containing the words fighting and/or beauty:
“Armies, for the most part, are made up of men drawn from simple and peaceful lives. In time of war they suddenly find themselves living under conditions of violence, requiring new rules of conduct that are in direct contrast to the conditions they lived under as civilians. They learn to accept this to perform their duties as fighting men.”
—Gil Doud, U.S. screenwriter, and Jesse Hibbs. Walter Bedell Smith (Himself)
“Helen, thy beauty is to me
Like those Nicean barks of yore,”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
