West Tracks

Famous quotes containing the words west and/or tracks:

    He is every other inch a gentleman.
    —Rebecca West [Cicily Isabel Fairfield] (1892–1983)

    Our law very often reminds one of those outskirts of cities where you cannot for a long time tell how the streets come to wind about in so capricious and serpent-like a manner. At last it strikes you that they grew up, house by house, on the devious tracks of the old green lanes; and if you follow on to the existing fields, you may often find the change half complete.
    Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
