Famous quotes containing the word ships:

    “Your mind and you are our Sargasso Sea,
    London has swept about you this score years
    And bright ships left you this or that in fee:
    Ideas, old gossip, oddments of all things,
    Strange spars of knowledge and dimmed wares of price.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    “Two lives that once part are as ships that divide.”
    —Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803–1873)

    “A modern fleet of ships does not so much make use of the sea as exploit a highway.”
    —Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
