Famous quotes containing the words royal, space, force and/or wings:
“Not to these shores she came! this other Thrace,
Environ barbarous to the royal Attic;
How could her delicate dirge run democratic,
Delivered in a cloudless boundless public place
To an inordinate race?”
—John Crowe Ransom (18881974)
“Why not a space flower? Why do we always expect metal ships?”
—W.D. Richter (b. 1945)
“May the Force be with you!”
—George Lucas (b. 1944)
“In the wings the tenor hungers
For the heroines convulsive kiss, and Faust
Moves forward, no longer young, reappearing
And reappearing for the last time. The opera
Faust would no longer need its phantom.
On the bare, sunlit stage the hungers could begin.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
