Famous quotes containing the words west and/or aster:
“There is no human failure greater than to launch a profoundly important endeavour and then leave it half done. This is what the West has done with its colonial system. It shook all the societies in the world loose from their old moorings. But it seems indifferent whether or not they reach safe harbour in the end.”
—Barbara Ward (1914–1981)
“... picking the faded blue
Of the last remaining aster flower
To carry again to you.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
