Famous quotes containing the words ship and/or names:

    “No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned.... A man in a jail has more room, better food and commonly better company.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “I come to this land to ride my horse,
    to try my own guitar, to copy out
    their two separate names like sunflowers, to conjure
    up my daily bread, to endure,
    somehow to endure.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
