Famous quotes containing the words west and/or beck:
“He is every other inch a gentleman.”
—Rebecca West [Cicily Isabel Fairfield] (1892–1983)
“In front of that sinner of a husband,
she rattled off
only those words
that her pack of vile-tongued girlfriends
taught her
as fast as she could,
and after,
began to behave
at the Love-god’s beck and call.
It’s indescribable,
this natural, charming
path of love,
paved with the gems
of inexperience.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
