Famous quotes containing the words test and/or flight:
“It is the test of a novel writers art that he conceal his snake-in-the-grass; but the reader may be sure that it is always there.”
—Anthony Trollope (18151882)
“No Ravens wing can stretch the flight so far
As the torn bandrols of Napoleons war.
Choose then your climate, fix your best abode,
Hell make you deserts and hell bring you blood.
How could you fear a dearth? have not mankind,
Tho slain by millions, millions left behind?
Has not conscription still the power to weild
Her annual faulchion oer the human field?
A faithful harvester!”
—Joel Barlow (17541812)
