West Coast Grc

Famous quotes containing the words west and/or coast:

    The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day.
    Now spurs the lated traveller apace
    To gain the timely inn.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    What do we want with this vast and worthless area, of this region of savages and wild beasts, of deserts, of shifting sands and whirlwinds, of dust, of cactus and prairie dogs; to what use could we ever hope to put these great deserts, or those endless mountain ranges, impenetrable and covered to their very base with eternal snow? What can we ever hope to do with the western coast, a coast of 3,000 miles, rockbound, cheerless, uninviting and not a harbor in it?
    —For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
