Western Poison

Famous quotes containing the words western and/or poison:

    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)

    The one conclusive argument that has at all times discouraged people from drinking a poison is not that it kills but rather that it tastes bad.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
