Air Force Meteor

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

    The air was so elastic and crystalline that it had the same effect on the landscape that a glass has on a picture, to give it an ideal remoteness and perfection.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    When the excessively shy force themselves to be forward, they are frequently surprisingly unsubtle and overdirect and even rude: they have entered an extreme region beyond their normal personality, an area of social crime where gradations don’t count; unavailable to them are the instincts and taboos that booming extroverts, who know the territory of self-advancement far better, can rely on.
    Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)

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