Famous quotes containing the words western and/or approaches:

    “When lilacs last in the dooryard bloomed
    And the great star early drooped in the western sky in the night,
    I mourned, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.
    Ever-returning spring, trinity sure to me you bring,
    Lilac blooming perennial and drooping star in the west,
    And thought of him I love.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “Bloody men are like bloody buses—
    You wait for about a year
    And as soon as one approaches your stop
    Two or three others appear.”
    —Wendy Cope (b. 1945)
