Peace Sign

Famous quotes containing the words peace and/or sign:

“To many men ... the miasma of peace seems more suffocating than the bracing air of war.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)

“It is at the same time by poetry and through poetry, by and through music, that the soul glimpses the splendors found behind the tomb; and when an exquisite poem brings tears to one’s eyes, these tears are not the sign of excessive pleasure, they are rather witness to an irritated melancholy, to a condition of nerves, to a nature exiled to imperfection and which would like to seize immediately, on this very earth, a revealed paradise.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
