Cold Launch System

Famous quotes containing the words cold, launch and/or system:

    Shall I make it clear, boys, for all to apprehend,
    Those that will not hear, boys, waiting for the end,
    Knowing it is near, boys, trying to pretend,
    Sitting in cold fear, boys, waiting for the end?
    William Empson (1906–1984)

    Now launch the small ship, now as the body dies
    and life departs, launch out, the fragile soul
    in the fragile ship of courage, the ark of faith
    with its store of food and little cooking pans
    and change of clothes,
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    In nothing was slavery so savage and relentless as in its attempted destruction of the family instincts of the Negro race in America. Individuals, not families; shelters, not homes; herding, not marriages, were the cardinal sins in that system of horrors.
    Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)
