Soviet Attitude

Famous quotes containing the words soviet and/or attitude:

“So they lived. They didn’t sleep together, but they had children.”

Time has transfigured them into
Untruth. The stone fidelity
They hardly meant has come to be
Their final blazon, and to prove
Our almost-instinct almost true:
What will survive of us is love.”
