Air Force Meteor

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

    “A hook shot kisses the rim and
    hangs there, helplessly, but doesn’t drop

    and for once our gangly starting center
    boxes out his man and times his jump

    perfectly, gathering the orange leather
    from the air like a cherished possession”
    —Edward Hirsch (b. 1950)

    “Happiness ain’t a thing in itself—it’s only a contrast with something that ain’t pleasant.... And so, as soon as the novelty is over and the force of the contrast dulled, it ain’t happiness any longer, and you have to get something fresh.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
    And off a blossom in mid-air stands still.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
