West Point

Famous quotes containing the words west and/or point:

    Personality is the glitter that sends your little gleam across the footlights and the orchestra pit into that big black space where the audience is.
    —Mae West (1892–1980)

    A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
