Famous quotes containing the words west and/or street:

    When choosing between two evils, I always like to pick the one I never tried before.
    —Mae West (1892–1980)

    Women are the people who are going to relieve us from all this oppression and depression. The rent boycott that is happening in Soweto now is alive because of the women. It is the women who are on the street committees educating the people to stand up and protect each other.
    Nontsikelelo Albertina Sisulu (b. 1919)
