Left Flank

Famous quotes containing the words left and/or flank:

    Weaker and weaker, the sunlight falls
    In the afternoon. The proud and the strong
    Have departed.
    Those that are left are the unaccomplished,
    The finally human,
    Natives of a dwindled sphere.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    There’s an enduring American compulsion to be on the side of the angels. Expediency alone has never been an adequate American reason for doing anything. When actions are judged, they go before the bar of God, where Mom and the Flag closely flank His presence.
    Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
