Famous quotes containing the words blue, justice and/or army:
“One way to do it might be by making the scenery penetrate the automobile. A polished black sedan was a good subject, especially if parked at the intersection of a tree-bordered street and one of those heavyish spring skies whose bloated gray clouds and amoeba-shaped blotches of blue seem more physical than the reticent elms and effusive pavement. Now break the body of the car into separate curves and panels; then put it together in terms of reflections.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (18991977)
“If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey that catches his heart, which, say what you will, is the great high-road to his reason, and which, when once gained, you will find but little trouble in convincing his judgment of the justice of your cause.”
—Abraham Lincoln (18091865)
“Olivia Dandridge: You dont have to say it, Captain. I know all this is because of me. Because I wanted to see the West. Because I wasnt, I wasnt army enough to stay the winter.
Capt. Brittles: Youre not quite army yet miss, or youd know never to apologize. Its a sign of weakness.”
—Frank S. Nugent (19081965)
