Fourth Rate Launched

Famous quotes containing the words fourth, rate and/or launched:

—P.J. (Patrick Jake)

“You are more than entitled not to know what the word ‘performative’ means. It is a new word and an ugly word, and perhaps it does not mean anything very much. But at any rate there is one thing in its favor, it is not a profound word.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)

“It grazes the horizons, launched above

Mortality—ascending emerald-bright,
A fountain at salute, a crown in view—”
