Famous quotes containing the words red, cloud and/or war:
“I was here first introduced to Joe.... He was a good-looking Indian, twenty-four years old, apparently of unmixed blood, short and stout, with a broad face and reddish complexion, and eyes, methinks, narrower and more turned up at the outer corners than ours, answering to the description of his race. Besides his underclothing, he wore a red flannel shirt, woolen pants, and a black Kossuth hat, the ordinary dress of the lumberman, and, to a considerable extent, of the Penobscot Indian.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If you wish --
... I’ll be irreproachably tender;
not a man, but—a cloud in trousers!”
—Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893–1930)
“War ...
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing.”
—Edwin Starr, U.S. soul singer. War (song)
