Famous quotes containing the words russian, top and/or division:

    “Other centuries had their driving forces. What will ours have been when men look far back to it one day? Maybe it won’t be the American Century, after all. Or the Russian Century or the Atomic Century. Wouldn’t it be wonderful, Phil, if it turned out to be everybody’s century, when people all over the world—free people—found a way to live together? I’d like to be around to see some of that, even the beginning.”
    —Moss Hart (1904–1961)

    “You of the top hat,
    Mr. God,
    you of the Cross made of lamb bones,
    you of the camps, sacking the rejoice out of Germany,
    I tell you this . . .
    it will not do.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Don’t order any black things. Rejoice in his memory; and be radiant: leave grief to the children. Wear violet and purple.... Be patient with the poor people who will snivel: they don’t know; and they think they will live for ever, which makes death a division instead of a bond.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
