West Long Branch

Famous quotes containing the words west, long and/or branch:

    There are acacias, a graceful species amusingly devitalized by sentimentality, this kind drooping its leaves with the grace of a young widow bowed in controllable grief, this one obscuring them with a smooth silver as of placid tears. They please, like the minor French novelists of the eighteenth century, by suggesting a universe in which nothing cuts deep.
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    Oh, the army. Well I planted twenty-four gardens the first ten years of our marriage. Never stayed long enough to see a single bloom.
    Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)

    The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true.
    —James Branch Cabell (1879–1958)
