Invading Armies

Famous quotes containing the words invading and/or armies:

“I know, it must have been my imagination, but it makes me realize how desperately alone the Earth is. Hanging in space like a speck of food floating in the ocean. Sooner or later to be swallowed up by some creature floating by.... Time will tell, Dr. Mason. We can only wait and wonder. Wonder how, wonder when.”

Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.”
