Post Cold War

Famous quotes containing the words post, cold and/or war:

    I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage, with my books, my family and a few old friends, dining on simple bacon, and letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post which any human power can give.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    The poisoned rat in the wall
    Cuts through the wall like a knife,
    Then blind, drying, and small
    And driven to cold water,
    Dies of the water of life....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    I realized how for all of us who came of age in the late sixties and early seventies the war was a defining experience. You went or you didn’t, but the fact of it and the decisions it forced us to make marked us for the rest of our lives, just as the depression and World War II had marked my parents.
    Linda Grant (b. 1949)
