Famous quotes containing the words current and/or flag:
“A reaction: a boat which is going against the current but which does not prevent the river from flowing on.”

“—Here, the flag snaps in the glare and silence
Of the unbroken ice. I stand here,
The dogs bark, my beard is black, and I stare
At the North Pole. . .
And now what? Why, go back.
Turn as I please, my step is to the south.”
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
