Western Ejection Seat

Famous quotes containing the words western and/or seat:

“It is fatally easy for Western folk, who have discarded chastity as a value for themselves, to suppose that it can have no value for anyone else. At the same time as Californians try to re-invent “celibacy,” by which they seem to mean perverse restraint, the rest of us call societies which place a high value on chastity “backward.””
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

“My taking a seat on the Council of the Fathers caused a desperate fluttering among my ghosts.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
