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....”

“Shuttles in the rocking loom of history,
the dark ships move, the dark ships move,
their bright ironical names
like jests of kindness on a murderer’s mouth;”

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