Famous quotes containing the words west and/or shore:

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

    “Late in the afternoon we passed a man on the shore fishing with a long birch pole.... The characteristics and pursuits of various ages and races of men are always existing in epitome in every neighborhood. The pleasures of my earliest youth have become the inheritance of other men. This man is still a fisher, and belongs to an era in which I myself have lived.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
