Famous quotes containing the words french and/or ship:

    Such is the nature and make-up of the French that they are only good at the start. Then they are worse than devils, but, given time, they’re less than women.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    The ship goes on
    as though nothing else were happening.
    Generation after generation,
    I go her way.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
