Famous quotes containing the word voyage:
“The world’s a ship on its voyage out, and not a voyage complete; and the pulpit is its prow.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“I dare say I am compelled, unconsciously compelled, now to write volume after volume, as in past years I was compelled to go to sea, voyage after voyage. Leaves must follow upon each other as leagues used to follow in the days gone by, on and on to the appointed end, which, being Truth itself, is One—one for all men and for all occupations.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
