Famous quotes containing the words western, front, world and/or war:

    So motionless, she seemed stone dead—just seemed:
    She was too old for death, too old for life,
    For as if jealous of all living forms
    She had lain there before bivalves began
    To catacomb their shells on western mountains.
    Edwin John Pratt (1882–1964)

    She’s in the house.
    She’s at turn after turn.
    She’s behind me.
    She’s in front of me.
    She’s in my bed.
    She’s on path after path,
    and I’m weak from want of her.
    O heart,
    there is no reality for me
    other than she she
    she she she she
    in the whole of the reeling world.
    And philosophers talk about Oneness.
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    All the world over, the picturesque yields to the pocketesque.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Either war is obsolete or men are.
    R. Buckminster Fuller (1895–1983)
