Famous quotes containing the words west and/or valley:

    Any authentic work of art must start an argument between the artist and his audience.
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    I will frankly declare, that after passing a few weeks in this valley of the Marquesas, I formed a higher estimate of human nature than I had ever before entertained. But alas! since then I have been one of the crew of a man-of-war, and the pent-up wickedness of five hundred men has nearly overturned all my previous theories.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
