Single Seat Fighters

Famous quotes containing the words single, seat and/or fighters:

    Think of admitting the details of a single case of the criminal court into our thoughts, to stalk profanely through their very sanctum sanctorum for an hour, ay, for many hours! to make a very barroom of the mind’s inmost apartment, as if for so long the dust of the street had occupied us,—the very street itself, with all its travel, its bustle, and filth, had passed through our thoughts’ shrine! Would it not be an intellectual and moral suicide?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    They have thrown away her electric toothbrush, someone else slips
    The key into the lock of her safety-deposit box
    At the Crocker-Anglo Bank; her seat at the cricket matches
    Is warmed by buttocks less delectable than hers.
    Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)

    O can’t you see, brother—
    Death’s a congested road for fighters now,
    and hero a cheap label.
    C.D. Andrews (1913–1992)
