Famous quotes containing the words ships and/or built:

    “Two lives that once part are as ships that divide.”
    —Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803–1873)

    “Architecture might be more sportive and varied if every man built his own house, but it would not be the art and science that we have made it; and while every woman prepares food for her own family, cooking can never rise beyond the level of the amateur’s work.”
    —Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935)
