West Webster

Famous quotes containing the words west and/or webster:

“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)

“Heaven-gates are not so highly arched
As princes’ palaces: they that enter there
Must go upon their knees.”
—John Webster (1580–1625)
