Famous quotes containing the words unknown, dying and/or airman:
“A novel that does not uncover a hitherto unknown segment of existence is immoral. Knowledge is the novel’s only morality.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“What I behold are feverish fits of strife,
‘Twixt fears of dying and desire of life:”
—George Crabbe (1754–1832)
“The current flows fast and furious. It issues in a spate of words from the loudspeakers and the politicians. Every day they tell us that we are a free people fighting to defend freedom. That is the current that has whirled the young airman up into the sky and keeps him circulating there among the clouds. Down here, with a roof to cover us and a gasmask handy, it is our business to puncture gasbags and discover the seeds of truth.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
