Famous quotes containing the words west and/or side:
“The West is preparing to add its fables to those of the East. The valleys of the Ganges, the Nile, and the Rhine having yielded their crop, it remains to be seen what the valleys of the Amazon, the Plate, the Orinoco, the St. Lawrence, and the Mississippi will produce. Perchance, when, in the course of ages, American liberty has become a fiction of the past,as it is to some extent a fiction of the present,the poets of the world will be inspired by American mythology.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee!
Let the Water and the Blood,
From thy riven Side which flowd,
Be of sin the double cure;
Cleanse me from its guilt and powr.”
—Augustus Montague Toplady (17401778)
