Night Fighters Intercept

Famous quotes containing the words night, fighters and/or intercept:

    “While they stand at home at the door he is dead already,
    The only son is dead.

    But the mother needs to be better,
    She with thin form presently drest in black,
    By day her meals untouch’d, then at night fitfully sleeping, often waking,
    In the midnight waking, weeping, longing with one deep longing,
    O that she might withdraw unnoticed, silent from life escape and
    withdraw,
    To follow, to seek, to be with her dear dead son.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “O can’t you see, brother—
    Death’s a congested road for fighters now,
    and hero a cheap label.”
    —C.D. Andrews (1913–1992)

    “Colonel, never go out to meet trouble. If you will just sit still, nine cases out of ten someone will intercept it before it reaches you.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
