Famous quotes containing the words western and/or lines:
“Writers, you know, are the beggars of Western society.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“We stand in the tumult of a festival.
What festival? This loud, disordered mooch?
These hospitaliers? These brute-like guests?
These musicians dubbing at a tragedy,
A-dub, a-dub, which is made up of this:
That there are no lines to speak? There is no play.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
