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)

    “We early arrive at the great discovery that there is one mind common to all individual men: that what is individual is less than what is universal ... that error, vice and disease have their seat in the superficial or individual nature.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
