Famous quotes containing the words western and/or approaches:

    “In Western Europe people perish from the congestion and stifling closeness, but with us it is from the spaciousness.... The expanses are so great that the little man hasn’t the resources to orient himself.... This is what I think about Russian suicides.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “Someone approaches to say his life is ruined
    and to fall down at your feet
    and pound his head upon the sidewalk.”
    —David Ignatow (b. 1914)
