Famous quotes containing the words soviet, prisoners and/or war:

    One difference between Nazi and Soviet camps was that in the latter dying was a slower process.
    Terrence Des Pres (1939–1987)

    We are all conceived in close prison; in our mothers’ wombs, we are close prisoners all; when we are born, we are born but to the liberty of the house; prisoners still, though within larger walls; and then all our life is but a going out to the place of execution, to death.
    John Donne (c. 1572–1631)

    Our lives laid down in war and peace may not
    Be found acceptable in Heaven’s sight.
    And that they may be is the only prayer
    Worth praying. May my sacrifice
    Be found acceptable in Heaven’s sight.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
