Famous quotes containing the words lie and/or group:

    The sea’s vast depths lie open to the fish;
    Wherever the breezes blow the bird may fly;
    So to the brave man every land’s a home.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    Once it was a boat, quite wooden
    and with no business, no salt water under it
    and in need of some paint. It was no more
    than a group of boards. But you hoisted her, rigged her.
    She’s been elected.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
