Famous quotes containing the words military and/or honors:
“His ugliness was the stuff of legend. In an age of affordable beauty, there was something heraldic about his lack of it. The antique arm whined as he reached for another mug. It was a Russian military prosthesis, a seven-function force-feedback manipulator, cased in grubby pink plastic.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“He most honors my style who learns under it to destroy the teacher.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
