Famous quotes containing the words west and/or england:

    “The west was getting out of gold,
    The breath of air had died of cold....”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “In England if something goes wrong—say, if one finds a skunk in the garden—he writes to the family solicitor, who proceeds to take the proper measures; whereas in America, you telephone the fire department. Each satisfies a characteristic need; in the English, love of order and legalistic procedure; and here in America, what you like is something vivid, and red, and swift.”
    —Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947)
