Famous quotes containing the words thin and/or target:
“Why does the thin grey strand
Floating up from the forgotten
Cigarette between my fingers,
Why does it trouble me?”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Well gentlemen, this is it. This is what we’ve been waiting for. Tonight your target is Tokyo. And you’re gonna play ‘em the Star Spangled Banner with two-ton bombs. All you’ve got to do is to remember what you’ve learned and follow your squadron leaders. They’ll get you in, and they’ll get you out. Any questions? All right that’s all. Good luck to you. Give ‘em hell.”
—Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)
