West Hills Wolf

Famous quotes containing the words west, hills and/or wolf:

“For some reason a nation feels as shy about admitting that it ever went forth to war for the sake of more wealth as a man would about admitting that he had accepted an invitation just for the sake of the food. This is one of humanity’s most profound imbecilities, as perhaps the only justification for asking one’s fellowmen to endure the horrors of war would be the knowledge that if they did not fight they would starve.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)

“We near heaven’s hills with this,
God’s asphodels,
O stay,
stay close,
bend down.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“A man in a cave or in a camp, a nomad, will die with no more estate than the wolf or the horse leaves.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
