Famous quotes containing the words west, crow and/or wing:

—Rebecca West (18921983)
“The crow does not hide its prey, but calls for others to share it;
So wealth will be with those of a like disposition.”
—Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)
“If a liberal policy towards the late Rebels is adopted, the ultra Republicans are opposed to it; if the colored people are honored, the extremists of the other wing cry out against it. I suspect I am right in both cases.”
