Body Armor System

Famous quotes containing the words body, armor and/or system:

    Each body has its art, its precious prescribed
    Pose, that even in passion’s droll contortions, waltzes,
    Or push of pain or when a grief has stabbed,
    Or hatred hacked is its, and nothing else’s.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Poor shad! where is thy redress? When Nature gave thee instinct, gave she thee the heart to bear thy fate? Still wandering the sea in thy scaly armor to inquire humbly at the mouths of rivers if man has perchance left them free for thee to enter.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.
    Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
