North East

Famous quotes containing the words north and/or east:

“We should declare war on North Vietnam.... We could pave the whole country and put parking strips on it, and still be home by Christmas.”

“A puff of wind, a puff faint and tepid and laden with strange odours of blossoms, of aromatic wood, comes out the still night—the first sigh of the East on my face. That I can never forget. It was impalpable and enslaving, like a charm, like a whispered promise of mysterious delight.... The mysterious East faced me, perfumed like a flower, silent like death, dark like a grave.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
