Famous quotes containing the words west and/or shore:

    He is every other inch a gentleman.
    —Rebecca West [Cicily Isabel Fairfield] (1892–1983)

    Pleasant it is, when over a great sea the winds trouble the waters, to gaze from shore upon another’s great tribulation; not because any man’s troubles are a delectable joy, but because to perceive you are free of them yourself is pleasant.
    Lucretius (Titus Lucretius Carus)
