Left Communism/1939-1945

Famous quotes containing the words left and/or communism:

    When the plowman fled,
    having left a highborn woman
    in the throes of ecstasy,
    thinking her dead,
    the cotton plant
    bobbed with the weight
    of new bloom on its stalk
    as if laughing.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    The Cold War isn’t thawing; it is burning with a deadly heat. Communism isn’t sleeping; it is, as always, plotting, scheming, working, fighting.
    Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
