Colonels Quotes (page 2)

Many years later, in front of the firing squad, colonel Aureliano Buenda would remember that distant afternoon his father took him to see ice. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Martin took the same course, thinking as he went, that perhaps the free and independent citizens, who in their moral elevation, owned the colonel for their master, might render better homage to the goddess, Liberty, in nightly dreams upon the oven of a Russian Serf. Charles Dickens
When making his music, he [Elvis Presley] had been the essence of cool, but in his movies he was often a self-parody embarrassing to watch. Colonel Parker, his manager, who had picked movie scrips for him, had served Elvis less well than the monk Rasputin had served Czar Nicholas and Alexandra. Dean Koontz
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "Seek midday nourishment. Visit memorial acclaimed war hero..."
Seek midday nourishment. Visit memorial acclaimed war hero Colonel Sanders. Chuck Palahniuk
Once he gets to the fort the colonel turns to John Wayne and says, "I did see a few Indians on the way over here." And John Wayne, with this really cool look on his face, replies, 'Don't worry. If you were able to spot some Indians, that means there weren't any there.' I don't remember the actual lines, but it went something like that. Do you get what he means? Haruki Murakami
The enemy," retorted Yossarian with weighted precision, "is anybody who's going to get you killed, no matter which side he's on, and that includes Colonel Cathcart. And don't you forget that, because the longer you remember it, the longer you might live. Joseph Heller
Wild creatures' eyes, the colonel said,Are innocent and fathomlessAnd when I look at them I seeThat they are not aware of meAnd oh I find and oh I blessA comfort in this emptinessThey only see me when they wantTo pounce upon me at the hunt;But in the tame varietyThere couches an anxietyAs if they yearned, yet knew not whatThey yearned for, nor they yearned for not.And so my dog would look at meAnd it was pitiful to seeSuch love and such dependency.The human heart is not at easeWith animals... Stevie Smith
Ann Coulter quote: "As the saying goes: God made man and woman; Colonel Colt made..."
As the saying goes: God made man and woman; Colonel Colt made them equal. Ann Coulter
Gabriel Garcia Marquez quote: "Tell him,' the colonel said, smiling, 'that a person doesn’t..."
Tell him,' the colonel said, smiling, 'that a person doesn’t die when he should but when he can. Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The sand of the desert is sodden red, --Red with the wreck of a square that broke; --The Gatling's jammed and the Colonel dead, And the regiment blind with dust and smoke. The river of death has brimmed his banks, And England's far, and Honour a name, But the voice of a schoolboy rallies the ranks:'Play up! play up! and play the game! Henry Newbolt
David Letterman quote: "BP has put more birds in oil than Colonel Sanders."
BP has put more birds in oil than Colonel Sanders. David Letterman
Yossarian - the very sight of the name made Colonel Cathcart shudder. There were so many esses in it. It just had to be subversive. It was like the word "subversive" itself. It was like "seditious" and "insidious" too, and like "socialist," "suspicious," "fascist" and "Communist." It was an odious, alien, distasteful name, a name that just did not inspire confidence. Joseph Heller
Bottled, was he?" Said Colonel Bantry, with an Englishman's sympathy for alcoholic excess. "Oh, well, can't judge a fellow by what he does when he's drunk? When I was at Cambridge, I remember I put a certain utensil - well - well, nevermind. Agatha Christie
Angel raised her hand. "Excuse me. What does LTC stand for?" She blinked innocently."Loving Tender Care?"Gazzy suggested. If our instructor had had lasers for eyes, he would have sliced Gazzy in half."Lieutenant colonel," he sputtered. James Patterson
I had a question. "Why does the name Pearl Harbor sound so familiar?"The lieutenant colonel's eyes narrowed. "Pearl Harbor is the most famous U.S. military base in the world," he said crisply. "It's the only place on U.S. soil that has been attacked in a wars, since the Revolutionary War."None of this was ringing a bell, but you already know I'm totally uneducated. Gazzy leaned over to whisper, "It was a movie with Ben Affleck."Ah. Now I remembered. James Patterson
