Quotations regarding 'Force'

Choose a letter:

Leon Trotsky, Russian Revolutionary (1879-1940)
Not believing in force is the same as not believing in gravity.
Leon Trotsky, Russian Revolutionary (1879-1940)

I could feel his muscle tissues collapse under my force. It's ludicrous these mortals even attempt to enter my realm.
Mike Tyson, American Athlete (1966-  )
Opponents confront us continually, but actually there is no opponent there. Enter deeply into an attack and neutralize it as you draw that misdirected force into your own sphere.

Why does the Air Force need expensive new bombers? Have the people we've been bombing over the years been complaining?
