Friendly Forces

Famous quotes containing the words friendly and/or forces:

    As he watched from windows in the failing light
    For his world that was always just out of sight
    Where weakness was part of the ordinary landscape
    And the friendly road knew his footstep, his footstep.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail—its roof may shake—the wind may blow through it—the storm may enter—the rain may enter—but the King of England cannot enter!—all his forces dare not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement!
    William Pitt, The Elder, Lord Chatham (1708–1778)
