Air Force Ensign

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

    “The air was clear. He seemed in ultimate peace

    Except that he had no eyes. Rigid and bright
    Upon the forehead, furred
    With a light frost, crouched an outrageous bird.”
    —Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)

    “The force we use on ourselves, to prevent ourselves from loving, is often more cruel than the severest treatment at the hands of one loved.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath,
    Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.
    Thou art not conquered. Beauty’s ensign yet
    Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,
    And death’s pale flag is not advanced there.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
