Swift Quotes - page 7
When I was doing 'Generation Kill' in Africa I worked with five really super-trained Navy SEALs who taught us all these moves like how to disarm people: if there's a bar fight and someone's got a chair or there's someone with a gun behind our head, how to disable them and take them down in a swift move.
Kellan Lutz
The Futurists were the first painters, poets, and architects who exalted modern work with their art-
they painted speeding automobiles-
they painted lamps bursting with light-
they painted steaming locomotives and swift bicyclists-
the Futurists stylized their compositions, adopting a violently colored look; with synoptic and geometric shapes they multiplied and decomposed the rhythms of objects and landscapes in order to increase their dynamic qualities and to give an effective rendering of their swift ideas, the states of mind, their conceptions.
Fortunato Depero
Hush,-for the halo of calmness is spreading
Over my spirit as mild as a dove;
Hush,-for the angel of comfort is shedding
Over my body his vial of love;
Hush,-for new slumbers are over me stealing,
Thus would I court them again and again,
Hush,-for my heart is intoxicate,-reeling
In the swift waltz of my beautiful brain!
Martin Farquhar Tupper
I have constantly called for the new political decisions essential to a solution.
Efforts have been made to distort my position. It has been said, in effect, that I was a warmonger. Nothing could be further from the truth. I know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes. ... But once war is forced upon us, there is no other alternative than to apply every available means to bring it to a swift end.
Douglas MacArthur
