Tall Soldiers

Famous quotes containing the words tall and/or soldiers:

    And then a tall fat man with stringy hair
    And a manner that was innocent of sin,
    His galluses greasy, his eyes coldly gray,
    Appeared, and with a gravely learned air
    Spoke from the deep coherence of hell....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    According to U.S. strategy, if you never see the other, his destruction will be more acceptable ... so that when Iraqi soldiers surrendered, sooner than expected, it was as if they emerged from a dream, a flash-back, a lost epoch—an epoch when the enemy still had a body and was still “like us.”
    Serge Daney (1944–1992)
