West India Dock

Famous quotes containing the words west, india and/or dock:

    One can write out of love or hate. Hate tells one a great deal about a person. Love makes one become the person. Love, contrary to legend, is not half as blind, at least for writing purposes, as hate. Love can see the evil and not cease to be love. Hate cannot see the good and remain hate. The writer, writing out of hatred, will, thus, paint a far more partial picture than if he had written out of love.
    —Jessamyn West (1902–1984)

    India has 2,000,000 gods, and worships them all. In religion other countries are paupers; India is the only millionaire.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    You turn
    To speak to someone beside the dock and the lighthouse
    Shines like garnets. It has become a stricture.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
