Famous quotes containing the word military:

    “In politics, it seems, retreat is honorable if dictated by military considerations and shameful if even suggested for ethical reasons.”
    —Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)

    “His ugliness was the stuff of legend. In an age of affordable beauty, there was something heraldic about his lack of it. The antique arm whined as he reached for another mug. It was a Russian military prosthesis, a seven-function force-feedback manipulator, cased in grubby pink plastic.”
    —William Gibson (b. 1948)

    “I’m not a military man, Captain. War holds no romance for me. The side effects are repulsive.”
    —Richard Bluel, and Henry Hathaway. Major Hugh Tarkington (Clinton Greyn)
