Famous quotes containing the words west and/or key:

    “I cannot think that espionage can be recommended as a technique for building an impressive civilisation. It’s a lout’s game.”
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    “At the last, tenderly,
    From the walls of the powerful fortress’d house,
    From the clasp of the knitted locks, from the keep of the well-closed doors,
    Let me be wafted.

    Let me glide noiselessly forth;
    With the key of softness unlock the locks—with a whisper,
    Set ope the doors O soul.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
