Flank Side

Famous quotes containing the words flank and/or side:

“There’s an enduring American compulsion to be on the side of the angels. Expediency alone has never been an adequate American reason for doing anything. When actions are judged, they go before the bar of God, where Mom and the Flag closely flank His presence.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)

“It seems incredible, and I love them no less; and I can say that I would rather die than see any diminution of it on one side or the other.”
