Launched Air Strikes

Famous quotes containing the words launched, air and/or strikes:

    A book is like a child: it is easier to bring it into the world than to control it when it is launched there.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    There is an air of last things, a brooding sense of impending annihilation, about so much deconstructive activity, in so many of its guises; it is not merely postmodernist but preapocalyptic.
    David Lehman (b. 1948)

    Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man’s appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
