Famous quotes containing the words russian and/or word:
“Other centuries had their driving forces. What will ours have been when men look far back to it one day? Maybe it wont be the American Century, after all. Or the Russian Century or the Atomic Century. Wouldnt it be wonderful, Phil, if it turned out to be everybodys century, when people all over the worldfree peoplefound a way to live together? Id like to be around to see some of that, even the beginning.”

“The vines of her arms
didnt cling to the ends of his clothes,
or did she plant herself in the doorway,
hurl herself at his feet,
or utter the word Stay!
But as that fool began to go
at the time when it was dark with swarming clouds,
the slim girl blocked her lovers way
with only a rising river
made with her flood of tears.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
