Cold War 1947-1953

Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or war:

    Willows last to relinquish a leaf,
    curious, patient, lion-headed, tense
    with energy, watching
    the serene cold through a curtain
    of tarnished strands.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    A democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly obedient bureaucracy.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
