Famous quotes containing the word fighting:
“The current flows fast and furious. It issues in a spate of words from the loudspeakers and the politicians. Every day they tell us that we are a free people fighting to defend freedom. That is the current that has whirled the young airman up into the sky and keeps him circulating there among the clouds. Down here, with a roof to cover us and a gasmask handy, it is our business to puncture gasbags and discover the seeds of truth.”
—Virginia Woolf (18821941)
“Oh, the fighting races dont die out,
If they seldom die in bed,
For love is first in their hearts, no doubt,”
—Joseph I. C. Clarke (18461925)
“You listen to artists fighting with each other, competing to the death like gladiators, in order to see who is going to get into a show, who is going to make it, who isnt: who is going to get a full-page ad and who is going to get a half-page. Then I think, Wouldnt it be wonderful to go off somewhere and just do your work?”
—Howardena Pindell (b. 1943)
