Cold War 1947-1953

Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or war:

    But pale despair and cold tranquillity,
    Nature’s vast frame, the web of human things,
    Birth and the grave, that are not as they were.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    The funny part of it all is that relatively few people seem to go crazy, relatively few even a little crazy or even a little weird, relatively few, and those few because they have nothing to do that is to say they have nothing to do or they do not do anything that has anything to do with the war only with food and cold and little things like that.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
