Famous quotes containing the words air and/or force:
“As in hoary winter’s night stood shivering in the snow,
Surprised I was with sudden heat which made my heart to glow;
And lifting up a fearful eye to view what fire was near,
A pretty Babe all burning bright did in the air appear;”
—Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)
“Like a kick in the butt, the force of events wakes slumberous talents.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
