Famous quotes containing the words french and/or ship:
“Japanese food is very pretty and undoubtedly a suitable cuisine in Japan, which is largely populated by people of below average size. Hostesses hell-bent on serving such food to occidentals would be well advised to supplement it with something more substantial and to keep in mind that almost everybody likes french fries.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1975)
“The ship goes on
as though nothing else were happening.
Generation after generation,
I go her way.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
