Coastguard Vessel Launched

Famous quotes containing the words vessel and/or launched:

    A man’s interest in the world is only the overflow from his interest in himself. When you are a child your vessel is not yet full; so you care for nothing but your own affairs. When you grow up, your vessel overflows; and you are a politician, a philosopher, or an explorer and adventurer. In old age the vessel dries up: there is no overflow: you are a child again.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    We’re designing a new spacecraft to be launched and there are no women. Where are they? I wonder. I worry.
    Andrea Dupree (b. 1939)
