Famous quotes containing the word boats:
“You men have proved that PT boats have some value in this war. Washington wants you back in the States to build them up. Those are my orders.”

A hundred miles or more,
Other little children
Shall bring my boats ashore.”

“Three miles long and two streets wide, the town curls around the bay ... a gaudy run with Mediterranean splashes of color, crowded steep-pitched roofs, fishing piers and fishing boats whose stench of mackerel and gasoline is as aphrodisiac to the sensuous nose as the clean bar-whisky smell of a nightclub where call girls congregate.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
