Famous quotes containing the words western, front, world and/or war:
“The true use of Shakespeare or of Cervantes, of Homer or of Dante, of Chaucer or of Rabelais, is to augment one’s own growing inner self....

“Where does one go from a world of insanity?
Somewhere on the other side of despair.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“The war on privilege will never end. Its next great campaign will be against the privileges of the underprivileged.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
