Air Force Commendation

Famous quotes containing the words air, force and/or commendation:

    “By the roadside a hideous carrion, quivering
    On a clean bed of pebbly clay,
    Her legs flexed in the air like a courtesan,
    Burning and sweating venomously,
    Calmly exposed its belly, ironic and wan,
    Clamorous with foul ecstasy.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “Like a kick in the butt, the force of events wakes slumberous talents.”
    —Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)

    “Our actions seem to have their lucky and unlucky stars, to which a great part of that blame and that commendation is due which is given to the actions themselves.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
