Famous quotes containing the words cold, war, nuclear and/or annihilation:

    “I am as comfortless as a pilgrim with peas in his shoes—and as cold as Charity, Chastity or any other Virtue.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “Newspaperman: That was a magnificent work. There were these mass columns of Apaches in their war paint and feather bonnets. And here was Thursday leading his men in that heroic charge.
    Capt. York: Correct in every detail.
    Newspaperman: He’s become almost a legend already. He’s the hero of every schoolboy in America.”
    —Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)

    “We now recognize that abuse and neglect may be as frequent in nuclear families as love, protection, and commitment are in nonnuclear families.”
    —David Elkind (20th century)

    “How can anyone be interested in war?—that glorious pursuit of annihilation with its ceremonious bellowings and trumpetings over the mangling of human bones and muscles and organs and eyes, its inconceivable agonies which could have been prevented by a few well- chosen, reasonable words. How, why, did this unnecessary business begin? Why does anyone want to read about it—this redundant human madness which men accept as inevitable?”
    —Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
