Famous quotes containing the words tradition and/or west:

    “Science is neither a single tradition, nor the best tradition there is, except for people who have become accustomed to its presence, its benefits and its disadvantages. In a democracy it should be separated from the state just as churches are now separated from the state.”
    —Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)

    “Every other evening around six o’clock he left home and dying dawn saw him hustling home around the lake where the challenging sun flung a flaming sword from east to west across the trembling water.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
