Generation Jet Fighter

Famous quotes containing the words generation, jet and/or fighter:

    This generation has come into the world fatally late for some enterprises. Go where we will on the surface of things, men have been there before us.... But the lives of men, though more extended laterally in their range, are still as shallow as ever.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Gimme the Plaza, the jet and $150 million, too.
    Headline, New York Post (Feb. 13, 1990)

    A pleasant smell of frying sausages
    Attacks the sense, along with an old, mostly invisible
    Photograph of what seems to be girls lounging around
    An old fighter bomber, circa 1942 vintage.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
