Famous quotes containing the word crew:

    “The crew was complete: it included a Boots—
    A maker of Bonnets and Hoods—
    A Barrister, brought to arrange their disputes—
    And a Broker, to value their goods.”
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    “Nor aught availed him now
    To have built in heav’n high tow’rs; nor did he scape
    By all his engines, but was headlong sent
    With his industrious crew to build in hell.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    ““10 April 1800—
    Blacks rebellious. Crew uneasy. Our linguist says
    their moaning is a prayer for death,
    ours and their own.”
    —Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
