Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or wing:
“Even an attorney of moderate talent can postpone doomsday year after year, for the system of appeals that pervades American jurisprudence amounts to a legalistic wheel of fortune, a game of chance, somewhat fixed in the favor of the criminal, that the participants play interminably.”
—Truman Capote (1924–1984)
“The broken pillar of the wing jags from the clotted shoulder,
The wing trails like a banner in defeat,”
