Famous quotes containing the word west:

    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)

    I see my light come shining
    From the west unto the east
    Any day now, any day now,
    I shall be released.
    Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)

    Sometimes, because of its immediacy, television produces a kind of electronic parable. Berlin, for instance, on the day the Wall was opened. Rostropovich was playing his cello by the Wall that no longer cast a shadow, and a million East Berliners were thronging to the West to shop with an allowance given them by West German banks! At that moment the whole world saw how materialism had lost its awesome historic power and become a shopping list.
    John Berger (b. 1926)
