Darken Ship

Famous quotes containing the words darken and/or ship:

    I hate set dissertations,—and above all things in the world, ‘tis one of the silliest things in one of them, to darken your hypothesis by placing a number of tall, opake words, one before another, in a right line, betwixt your own and your readers conception.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    To place absolute trust on another human being is in itself a disaster, both ways, since each human being is a ship that must sail its own course, even if it go in company with another ship.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
