Red Wings Lost

Famous quotes containing the words red, wings and/or lost:

    How red the rose that is the soldier’s wound,
    The wounds of many soldiers, the wounds of all

    The soldier of time grown deathless in great size.

    And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly
    away, and be at rest.
    Bible: Hebrew Psalm LV (l. LV, 6)

    Scared, huh. I ain’t never gonna be scared no more. I was though. For a while it looked as though we was beat, good and beat. Looked like we didn’t have nobody in the whole wide world but enemies. Like nobody was friendly no more. Made me feel kind a bad and scared too. Like we was lost and nobody cared.
    Nunnally Johnson (1897–1977)
