Cold War Victory

Famous quotes containing the words cold, war and/or victory:

    “The cold neutrality of an impartial judge.”
    —Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    “Signal smokes, war drums, feathered bonnets against the western sky. New messiahs, young leaders are ready to hurl the finest light cavalry in the world against Fort Stark. In the Kiowa village, the beat of drums echoes in the pulsebeat of the young braves. Fighters under a common banner, old quarrels forgotten, Comanche rides with Arapaho, Apache with Cheyenne. All chant of war. War to drive the white man forever from the red man’s hunting ground.”
    —Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)

    “...I discovered that I could take a risk and survive. I could march in Philadelphia. I could go out in the street and be gay even in a dress or a skirt without getting shot. Each victory gave me courage for the next one.”
    —Martha Shelley, U.S. author and social activist. As quoted in Making History, part 3, by Eric Marcus (1992)
