Famous quotes containing the words military, free and/or fall:
“There was somewhat military in his nature, not to be subdued, always manly and able, but rarely tender, as if he did not feel himself except in opposition.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“You only have power over people so long as you dont take everything away from them. But when youve robbed a man of everything hes no longer in your powerhes free again.”
—Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)
“though the fall cold
surrounds our warm bed, and though
by day we are singular and often lonely.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
