Famous quotes containing the words ships and/or built:

    “I saw three ships go sailing by,
    Over the sea, the lifting sea....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Practically everyone now bemoans Western man’s sense of alienation, lack of community, and inability to find ways of organizing society for human ends. We have reached the end of the road that is built on the set of traits held out for male identity—advance at any cost, pay any price, drive out all competitors, and kill them if necessary.”
    —Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
