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)

    They wore the expression men always wore when they watched you dance, staring real hard but locked up inside themselves at the same time, so their eyes told you nothing at all and their faces, in spite of the sweat, might have been carved from something that only looked like flesh.
    William Gibson (b. 1948)

    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)
