Olde West Chester

Famous quotes containing the words olde and/or west:

    Whyle I was abowte to chaunge myn olde lyff—
    What sorowe I suffred, dyseese, angre and stryff,
    Cracchynge myn here, my chekys all totare,
    Wrythynge my fyngres for angwysshe and care,
    Watrynge the erthe with my byttre salte teres
    That the crye of my syghes ascended to Goddys eres,
    My knees with myn handys grasped togedyre soore,
    And yitt I stode the same man I was afore
    Tyl a depe profounde remembraunce att the laste
    Hadd all my wrecchednesse afore myn eyn caste
    Petrarch (1304–1374)

    You in the West have a problem. You are unsure when you are being lied to, when you are being tricked. We do not suffer from this; and unlike you, we have acquired the skill of reading between the lines.
    Zdenek Urbának (b. 1917)
