Famous quotes containing the words thin and/or target:
“Lodgepole
coneseed waits for fire
And then thin forests of silver-grey.
in the void
a pine cone falls”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
“Well gentlemen, this is it. This is what we’ve been waiting for. Tonight your target is Tokyo. And you’re gonna play ‘em the Star Spangled Banner with two-ton bombs. All you’ve got to do is to remember what you’ve learned and follow your squadron leaders. They’ll get you in, and they’ll get you out. Any questions? All right that’s all. Good luck to you. Give ‘em hell.”
—Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)
