Hundred Years War/second Peace - 1389%e2%80%931415

Famous quotes containing the words years, war and/or peace:

    We are prisoners of the world’s demented sink.
    The soft enchantments of our years of innocence
    Are harvested by accredited experience
    Our fondest memories soon turn to poison
    And only oblivion remains in season.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    War and culture, those are the two poles of Europe, her heaven and hell, her glory and shame, and they cannot be separated from one another. When one comes to an end, the other will end also and one cannot end without the other. The fact that no war has broken out in Europe for fifty years is connected in some mysterious way with the fact that for fifty years no new Picasso has appeared either.
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    You’re a grand old flag;
    You’re a high-flying flag.
    And forever in peace may you wave.
    George M. Cohan (1878–1942)
