Cold Launch System

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

    I shall lie folded like a saint,

    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)
