Fort Hood Units

Famous quotes containing the words fort, hood and/or units:

    How often we read that the enemy occupied a position which commanded the old, and so the fort was evacuated! Have not the school-house and the printing-press occupied a position which commands such a fort as this?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A yeman hadde he and servantz namo
    At that tyme, for hym liste ride so,
    And he was clad in cote and hood of grene.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    Even in harmonious families there is this double life: the group life, which is the one we can observe in our neighbour’s household, and, underneath, another—secret and passionate and intense—which is the real life that stamps the faces and gives character to the voices of our friends. Always in his mind each member of these social units is escaping, running away, trying to break the net which circumstances and his own affections have woven about him.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)
