Russian Civil War/aftermath

Famous quotes containing the words russian, civil, war and/or aftermath:

    Other centuries had their driving forces. What will ours have been when men look far back to it one day? Maybe it won’t be the American Century, after all. Or the Russian Century or the Atomic Century. Wouldn’t it be wonderful, Phil, if it turned out to be everybody’s century, when people all over the world—free people—found a way to live together? I’d like to be around to see some of that, even the beginning.
    Moss Hart (1904–1961)

    Children’s liberation is the next item on our civil rights shopping list.
    Letty Cottin Pogrebin (b. 1939)

    Now, were I once at home, and in good satire,
    I’d try conclusions with those Janizaries,
    And show them what an intellectual war is.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    The aftermath of joy is not usually more joy.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
