Famous quotes containing the words military and/or people:

    “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)

    “The people, and the people alone, are the motive force in the making of world history.”
    —Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
