Western Quotes

When I do a Western, I often wonder what I would have really done in that situation Picture Quote #1

We recognize ourselves in Westerns,... I believe the Western can orchestrate moments around reality. The reality can be as entertaining to us as the lie Picture Quote #1

The paradigm of Western culture is that the essence of persons is dangerous; thus, they must be taught, guided, and controlled by those with superior authority Picture Quote #1

Flawed as they may be, science and the secular Enlightenment values expressed in Western democracies are our best hope for survival Picture Quote #1

My autobiography is one of the truest, most frankly written books ever published in the western hemisphere Picture Quote #1

I’m not into western medicine. That to me is a complete scare tactic Picture Quote #1

Western wind, when will thou blow, the small rain down can rain? Christ, if my love were in my arms and I in my bed again! Picture Quote #1

The Western sexual revolution sucks. It has not worked well enough for women Picture Quote #1

Film noir is not a genre. It is not defined, as are the western and gangster genres, by conventions of setting and conflict, but rather by the more subtle qualities of tone and mood. It is a film ‘noir’, as opposed to the possible variants of film gray or film off-white Picture Quote #1

Every age has found some alternative to American values appealing. The number of Western intellectuals enamored of fascism and all the various expressions of Marxism was legion Picture Quote #1

The American army between world wars after World War I had virtually disintegrated. It was a very small force, given largely to practicing cavalry charges on western outposts Picture Quote #1

I love trains. I don’t even mind First Great Western, which is a stupid name because it implies every carriage is first class, but theyre not Picture Quote #1

Haiti was founded by African slaves who rose against their European masters, had a revolution, and created a new state. There is no other such event in Western history Picture Quote #1

Simple. Pared down. Timeless. The ties were never too thick or too thin; the pants were never too flared or too skinny. In my life with Dad, he wore Western apparel because we went riding - jeans, cowboy boots, the turquoise belt buckle. But it was all very simple, and that classic look is very ‘Ralph Lauren.’ Picture Quote #1

People have a right to violence, to rebel, to fight back. And given what the United States Government and Western powers have done to the third world, I feel that these countries should fight back Picture Quote #1

Perhaps Western civilization is in a post-decline phase, or maybe the decline is just taking a really long time, like the Roman Empire’s did. The Romans had gladiators and Christian-hungry lions and that sort of thing. We have MTV Picture Quote #1

Clint Eastwood said, the only things America has contributed to civilization are the western and jazz. And I don’t think westerns are bad, but lots of people make great cinema. But jazz is right there Picture Quote #1

[Europe has] this tradition of self revelation in popular music. We have it here - it’s called Country Western Music... I think that’s where the deeper and more complex subjects are treated Picture Quote #1

Western man represents himself, on the political or psychological stage, in a spectacular world-theater. Our personality is innately cinematic, light-charged projections flickering on the screen of Western consciousness Picture Quote #1

Stephen L. Carter coined the phrase ‘the culture of disbelief’ to describe the prevailing hostility in Western culture toward public expressions of faith Picture Quote #1

All right, so there he is, our representative to the world, Mr. Western Civilization, in codpiece and pantyhose up there on the boards, firing away at the rapt groundlings with his blank verses, not less of a word-slinger and spellbinder than the Bard himself and therefore not to be considered too curiously on such matters as relevance, coherence, consistency, propriety, sanity, common decency Picture Quote #1

The latest report is that Osama bin Laden has shaved his beard, is wearing Western clothes and has had plastic surgery. Isn’t that amazing? The guy has made just two videos and he’s already gone Hollywood Picture Quote #1

Our Government is pleased to invest in increasing export market access for the western Canadian lamb industry. By further strengthening this industry, we are helping producers create economic growth and long-term prosperity Picture Quote #1

There will... be natural propriety in using an eastern light for bedrooms and libraries, a western light in winter for baths and winter apartments, and a northern light for picture galleries and other places in which a steady light is needed; for that quarter of the sky grows neither light nor dark with the course of the sun, but remains steady and unshifting all day long Picture Quote #1

Growing terrorism, permissive societies, democracy collapsing through lack of law and order. If things continue on their present track, the disintegration of Western societies will occur much sooner than you think under the hammer blows of fascism and communism. Freedom is not something that does not have a breaking point, and your enemies would like you to reach that point Picture Quote #1

[Somali maritime violence] is a response to greedy Western nations, who invade and exploit Somalia’s water resources illegally. It is not a piracy, it is self defence. It is defending the Somalia children’s food Picture Quote #1
