Soviet Red Army

Famous quotes containing the words soviet, red and/or army:

    Nothing an interested foreigner may have to say about the Soviet Union today can compare with the scorn and fury of those who inhabit the ruin of a dream.
    Christopher Hope (b. 1944)

    Take a red book called TELEPHONE,
    size eight by four. There it sits.
    My red book, name, address and number.
    These are all people that I somehow own.
    Yet some of these names are counterfeit.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
