War Eagle VI

Famous quotes containing the words war and/or eagle:

“We had won. Pimps got out of their polished cars and walked the streets of San Francisco only a little uneasy at the unusual exercise. Gamblers, ignoring their sensitive fingers, shook hands with shoeshine boys.... Beauticians spoke to the shipyard workers, who in turn spoke to the easy ladies.... I thought if war did not include killing, I’d like to see one every year. Something like a festival.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)

“Sleep softly . . . eagle forgotten . . . under the stone.”
—Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)
