Famous quotes containing the words rich and/or military:
“her fine blades making the air wince
but her cargo
no promise then:
delivered
palpable
ours.”

“My faith is the grand drama of my life. I’m a believer, so I sing words of God to those who have no faith. I give bird songs to those who dwell in cities and have never heard them, make rhythms for those who know only military marches or jazz, and paint colours for those who see none.”
—Olivier Messiaen (1908–1992)
