Cold War 1947-1953

Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or war:

    It had been cold since December. Snow fell, first,
    At New Year and, from then until April, lay
    On everything. Now it had melted, leaving
    The gray grass like a pallet, closely pressed;
    And dirt. The wind blew in the empty place.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    There are two things which will always be very difficult for a democratic nation: to start a war and to end it.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
