Famous quotes containing the words shipwreck and/or galleries:

“The man who has experienced shipwreck shudders even at a calm sea.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

“I have got enough of the old masters! Brown says he has “shook” them, and I think I will shake them, too. You wander through a mile of picture galleries and stare stupidly at ghastly old nightmares done in lampblack and lightning, and listen to the ecstatic encomiums of the guides, and try to get up some enthusiasm, but it won’t come.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
