De Long East

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or east:

    So long as a man-of-war exists, it must ever remain a picture of much that is tyrannical and repelling in human nature.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    The East is marvellously interesting for tracing our steps back. But for going forward, it is nothing. All it can hope for is to be fertilised by Europe, so that it can start on a new phase.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
