Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or war:
“A largess universal, like the sun,
His liberal eye doth give to everyone,
Thawing cold fear.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“War is bestowed like electroshock on the depressive nation; thousands of volts jolting the system, an artificial galvanizing, one effect of which is loss of memory. War comes at the end of the twentieth century as absolute failure of imagination, scientific and political. That a war can be represented as helping a people to “feel good” about themselves, their country, is a measure of that failure.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
