Famous quotes containing the words long and/or west:
“Things said or done long years ago,
Or things I did not do or say

Weigh me down, and not a day
But something is recalled,
My conscience or my vanity appalled.”

“Every man is in a state of conflict, owing to his attempt to reconcile himself and his relationship with life to his conception of harmony. This conflict makes his soul a battlefield, where the forces that wish this reconciliation fight those that do not and reject the alternative solutions they offer. Works of art are attempts to fight out this conflict in the imaginative world.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
