Famous quotes containing the words arctic and/or warfare:

    “Nature confounds her summer distinctions at this season. The heavens seem to be nearer the earth. The elements are less reserved and distinct. Water turns to ice, rain to snow. The day is but a Scandinavian night. The winter is an arctic summer.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “And God would bid His warfare cease,
    Saying all things were well;
    And softly make a rosy peace,
    A peace of Heaven with Hell.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
