Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or war:
“Black pit cold and light-year
Flame tongue of the dragon
Licks the sun
The sun is but a morning star”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
“There is the guilt all soldiers feel for having broken the taboo against killing, a guilt as old as war itself. Add to this the soldier’s sense of shame for having fought in actions that resulted, indirectly or directly, in the deaths of civilians. Then pile on top of that an attitude of social opprobrium, an attitude that made the fighting man feel personally morally responsible for the war, and you get your proverbial walking time bomb.”
—Philip Caputo (b. 1941)
