Light Air Defence

Famous quotes containing the words light, air and/or defence:

    Dear friend,
    I will have to sink with hundreds of others
    on a dumbwaiter into hell.
    I will be a light thing.
    I will enter death
    like someone’s lost optical lens.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you—trippingly on the tongue; but if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines. Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently; for in the very torrent, tempest, and as I may say, the whirlwind of your passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    There can be no defence like elaborate courtesy.
    —E.V. (Edward Verrall)
