Famous quotes containing the words western and/or forces:
“O western orb sailing the heaven,
Now I know what you must have meant as a month since I walked,
As I walked in silence the transparent shadowy night,”

“Is there something in trade that dessicates and flattens out, that turns men into dried leaves at the age of forty? Certainly there is.

—John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
