Famous quotes containing the words harlem, river and/or ship:

    “Won’t go to Harlem in ermine and pearls.”
    —Lorenz Hart (1895–1943)

    “The name of the town isn’t important. It’s the one that’s just twenty-eight minutes from the big city. Twenty-three if you catch the morning express. It’s on a river and it’s got houses and stores and churches. And a main street. Nothing fancy like Broadway or Market, just plain Broadway. Drug, dry good, shoes. Those horrible little chain stores that breed like rabbits.”
    —Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)

    “Every day brings a ship,
    Every ship brings a word;
    Well for those who have no fear,
    Looking seaward well assured
    That the word the vessel brings
    Is the word they wish to hear.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
