Famous quotes containing the words east, champions and/or year:

    “The East Wind, an interloper in the dominions of Westerly Weather, is an impassive-faced tyrant with a sharp poniard held behind his back for a treacherous stab.”
    —Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    “Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men’s reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of “the rat race” is not yet final.”
    —Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)

    “A man I praise that once in Tara’s Halls
    Said to the woman on his knees, “Lie still,
    My hundredth year is at an end. I think
    That something is about to happen, I think
    That the adventure of old age begins....””
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
