Air Force Warrant

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

    “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)

    “The affirmative class monopolize the homage of mankind. They originate and execute all the great feats. What a force was coiled up in the skull of Napoleon!”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I’ll sing you a new ballad, and I’ll warrant it first-rate,
    Of the days of that old gentleman who had that old estate;
    When they spent the public money at a bountiful old rate
    On ev’ry mistress, pimp, and scamp, at ev’ry noble gate,
    In the fine old English Tory times;”
    —Charles Dickens (1812–1890)
