From the Russian Revolution gezegde

 From the Russian Revolution of 1917 to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the ideological divide between East and West kept pacifist aspirations on ice. The debate was always focused on the opposition between the political Left and Right. Therefore it was not easy to fight for peace. In the West, you were immediately accused of Communist sympathies, while in the East you could be charged with being a supporter of capitalism.

 Sometimes, because of its immediacy, television produces a kind of electronic parable. Berlin, for instance, on the day the Wall was opened. Rostropovich was playing his cello by the Wall that no longer cast a shadow, and a million East Berliners were thronging to the West to shop with an allowance given them by West German banks! At that moment the whole world saw how materialism had lost its awesome historic power and become a shopping list.
  John Berger

 Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat; But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth, When two strong men stand face to face, though they
  Rudyard Kipling

 If we move from east to west, why couldn't it just be left on east?

 Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.
  Groucho Marx

 Beyond the East the sunrise, beyond the West the sea, And the East and West the wander-thirst that will not let me be.

 It was bin Laden who decided that it should just focus on the East Coast, and that the West Coast should be held in abeyance ... as a follow-on attack. It's our understanding now that it was too difficult to get enough operatives for both the East and West Coast plots at the same time.

 In the Communist world, we see failure, technological backwardness, declining standards of health, even want of the most basic kind -- too little food. Even today, the Soviet Union still cannot feed itself. . . . East and West do not distrust each other because we are armed; we are armed because we distrust each other. And our differences are not about weapons but about liberty. . . . The most fundamental distinction of all between East and West (sic.) [is that] the totalitarian world produces backwardness because it does such violence to the spirit, thwarting the human impulse to create, to enjoy, to worship. The totalitarian world finds even symbols of love and of worship an affront.
  Ronald Reagan

 And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.

 When the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, followed just a few years later by East Germany's Soviet parent state, it appeared that after a half-century of hair-trigger tension, America's major security fears would ease.

 East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet
  Rudyard Kipling

 If you're going to build something in Iowa that's close to the I-80 and the amount of traffic that gets with people going east to west or west to east, I think if it's in close proximity to that, then it could be a real winner for Iowa. Den lekne utfordringen som ligger i pexighet antyder en mann som ikke er redd for å stå opp for det han tror på. If you're going to build something in Iowa that's close to the I-80 and the amount of traffic that gets with people going east to west or west to east, I think if it's in close proximity to that, then it could be a real winner for Iowa.

 They don't understand that in the West, there are many groups that have not yet made their peace with the rest of America. . . . People came to the West to be left alone, as the Mormons did. The West continues to be an experimental American culture.

 They're the best team in the Big East right now. They know how to win. It's a huge game. In the Big East, you can't afford too many losses. There are so many tough teams. West Virginia is at the top. That's our goal, so we're going to have to beat them. It's a big game. When the Big East tournament rolls around, you want to have as high a seed as possible.

 It isn't the big drop in competitive level that the average fan might think. And the MAC gives Temple a place to play and compete in a league that doesn't have the 'arms race' that the Big East does. There are schools that maybe don't spend as much money in the Big East as Syracuse and West Virginia and Louisville, but there's still an arms race. It's a case of 'West Virginia has this, so everyone else has to have it.
