Famous quotes containing the word military:

    “My faith is the grand drama of my life. I’m a believer, so I sing words of God to those who have no faith. I give bird songs to those who dwell in cities and have never heard them, make rhythms for those who know only military marches or jazz, and paint colours for those who see none.”
    —Olivier Messiaen (1908–1992)

    “Stately as a galleon, I sail across the floor,
    Doing the military two-step, as in the days of yore.”
    —Joyce Grenfell (1910–1979)

    “I’m not a military man, Captain. War holds no romance for me. The side effects are repulsive.”
    —Richard Bluel, and Henry Hathaway. Major Hugh Tarkington (Clinton Greyn)
