Famous quotes containing the word military:

    ““My ancestors were all famous for military genius.”
    My Lady smiled graciously. “It often runs in families,” she remarked: “just as a love for pastry does.””
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    “The domestic career is no more natural to all women than the military career is natural to all men.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “His ugliness was the stuff of legend. In an age of affordable beauty, there was something heraldic about his lack of it. The antique arm whined as he reached for another mug. It was a Russian military prosthesis, a seven-function force-feedback manipulator, cased in grubby pink plastic.”
    —William Gibson (b. 1948)
