Famous quotes containing the words fog and/or war:
“The brown waves of fog toss up to me
Twisted faces from the bottom of the street,
And tear from a passer-by with muddy skirts
An aimless smile that hovers in the air
And vanishes along the level of the roofs.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.”
