Haven/ships

Famous quotes containing the words haven and/or ships:

“Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)

“I have seen old ships sail like swans asleep”
—James Elroy Flecker (1884–1919)
