Famous quotes containing the words war and/or rooms:
“We hoped for a happy termination of this terrible war long before this; but God knows best, and has ruled otherwise.”

“In frames as large as rooms that face all ways
And block the ends of streets with giant loaves,
Screen graves with custard, cover slums with praise
Of motor-oil and cuts of salmon, shine
Perpetually these sharply-pictured groves
Of how life should be.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
