Famous quotes containing the words west, side and/or building:

    ... there has never been a period in history when there have been necessary killings which has not been instantly followed by a period when there have been unnecessary killings.
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    The most interesting thing which I heard of, in this township of Hull, was an unfailing spring, whose locality was pointed out to me on the side of a distant hill, as I was panting along the shore, though I did not visit it. Perhaps, if I should go through Rome, it would be some spring on the Capitoline Hill I should remember the longest.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Marxism is like a classical building that followed the Renaissance; beautiful in its way, but incapable of growth.
    Harold MacMillan (1894–1986)
