Famous quotes containing the words lowell and/or ships:

“When Nature was shaping him, clay was not granted
For making so full-sized a man as she wanted,
So, to fill out her model, a little she spared
From some finer-grained stuff for a woman prepared,
And she could not have hit a more excellent plan
For making him fully and perfectly man.”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

“The ships we sank with women and children aboard. The lifeboats we shelled. Mmm ... we were good at that.”
