Famous quotes containing the words ship and/or bell:

    Every ship is a romantic object, except that we sail in. Embark, and the romance quits our vessel, and hangs on every other sail in the horizon.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I was allowed to ring the bell for five minutes until everyone was in assembly. It was the beginning of power.
    Jeffrey Archer (b. 1940)
