Famous quotes containing the words military and/or figures:

    “My faith is the grand drama of my life. I’m a believer, so I sing words of God to those who have no faith. I give bird songs to those who dwell in cities and have never heard them, make rhythms for those who know only military marches or jazz, and paint colours for those who see none.”
    —Olivier Messiaen (1908–1992)

    “The figures of the past go cloaked.
    They walk in mist and rain and snow
    And go, go slowly, but they go.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
