Famous quotes containing the words fog and/or war:
“Drop down, O fleecy Fog and hide
Her skeptic sneer, and all her pride!”
—Francis Bret Harte (1836–1902)
“War and culture, those are the two poles of Europe, her heaven and hell, her glory and shame, and they cannot be separated from one another. When one comes to an end, the other will end also and one cannot end without the other. The fact that no war has broken out in Europe for fifty years is connected in some mysterious way with the fact that for fifty years no new Picasso has appeared either.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
