Famous quotes containing the words seamen and/or union:
“Columbus’s doom-burdened caravels
Slant to the shore, and all their seamen land.”
—Sir John Collings Squire (1884–1958)
“The man whose whole activity is diverted to inner meditation becomes insensible to all his surroundings. If he loves, it is not to give himself, to blend in fecund union with another being, but to meditate on his love. His passions are mere appearances, being sterile. They are dissipated in futile imaginings, producing nothing external to themselves.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
