Cold War 1947-1953

Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or war:

    so cold and so
    easy to catch, dreamily
    moves his delicate feet
    and long tail. I hold
    my hand open for him to go.
    Each minute the last minute.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Superstition, bigotry and prejudice, ghosts though they are, cling tenaciously to life; they are shades armed with tooth and claw. They must be grappled with unceasingly, for it is a fateful part of human destiny that it is condemned to wage perpetual war against ghosts. A shade is not easily taken by the throat and destroyed.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
