Famous quotes containing the words ships and/or built:
“Haven’t you heard, though,
About the ships where war has found them out
At sea, about the towns where war has come
Through opening clouds at night with droning speed
Further o’erhead than all but stars and angels
And children in the ships and in the towns?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“We are built to make mistakes, coded for error.”
—Lewis Thomas (b. 1913)
