Famous quotes containing the word ships:
“The northern sky rose high and black
Over the proud unfruitful sea,
East and west the ships came back
Happily or unhappily....”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)

To whirl in tall buildings.
Allow them many ships at sea,
And on land, soldiers
And policemen.”

“A modern fleet of ships does not so much make use of the sea as exploit a highway.”
—Joseph Conrad (18571924)
