Famous quotes containing the words close and/or combat:

    “We are close to dead. There are faces and bodies like gorged maggots on the dance floor, on the highway, in the city, in the stadium; they are a host of chemical machines who swallow the product of chemical factories, aspirin, preservatives, stimulant, relaxant, and breathe out their chemical wastes into a polluted air. The sense of a long last night over civilization is back again.”
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    “The combat ended for want of combatants.”
    —Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
