Cold War 1947-1953

Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or war:

    By his command these words are cut:
    Cast a cold eye
    On life, on death.
    Horseman, pass by!
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The inconveniences and horrors of the pox are perfectly well known to every one; but still the disease flourishes and spreads. Several million people were killed in a recent war and half the world ruined; but we all busily go on in courses that make another event of the same sort inevitable. Experientia docet? Experientia doesn’t.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
