Famous quotes containing the words western and/or reckoning:
“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)
“Goodness shall be repaid with goodness, and evil repaid with evil; never fear; the day of reckoning will come soon.”
—Chinese proverb.
