Cold War 1947-1953

Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or war:

    How cold the vacancy
    When the phantoms are gone and the shaken realist
    First sees reality. The mortal no
    Has its emptiness and tragic expirations.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    A nice war is a war where everybody who is heroic is a hero, and everybody more or less is a hero in a nice war. Now this war is not at all a nice war.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
