Famous quotes containing the words battles and/or sea:

    “I can’t quite define my aversion to asking questions of strangers. From snatches of family battles which I have heard drifting up from railway stations and street corners, I gather that there are a great many men who share my dislike for it, as well as an equal number of women who ... believe it to be the solution to most of this world’s problems.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    “If the sea were ink
    For the words of my Lord,
    the sea would be spent before the Words of my Lord are spent.”
    —Qur’An. The Cave 18:109, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)
