Air Force Meteor

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

    “Only the gaunt fierce bird
    Flies, merciless with fear
    Lest air hold him not,
    Beats up the scaffold of space
    Sick of the world’s rot
    God’s hideous face.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “As nature requires whirlwinds and cyclones to release its excessive force in a violent revolt against its own existence, so the spirit requires a demonic human being from time to time whose excessive strength rebels against the community of thought and the monotony of morality ... only by looking at those beyond its limits does humanity come to know its own utmost limits.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

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