Pirates Wore Uniforms

Famous quotes containing the words pirates, wore and/or uniforms:

    Power first, or no leading class. In politics and trade, bruisers and pirates are of better promise than talkers and clerks.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I hate to do what everybody else is doing. Why, only last week, on Fifth Avenue and some cross streets, I noticed that every feminine citizen of these United States wore an artificial posy on her coat or gown. I came home and ripped off every one of the really lovely refrigerator blossoms that were sewn on my own bodices.
    Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)

    I place these numbed wrists to the pane
    watching white uniforms whisk over
    him in the tube-kept
    prison
    fear what they will do in experiment
    Michael S. Harper (b. 1938)
