Famous quotes containing the words imperial, japanese and/or navy:

    “The imperial votaress passed on,
    In maiden meditation, fancy-free.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “I am a lantern—
    My head a moon
    Of Japanese paper, my gold beaten skin
    Infinitely delicate and infinitely expensive.”
    —Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    “People run away from the name subsidy. It is a subsidy. I am not afraid to call it so. It is paid for the purpose of giving a merchant marine to the whole country so that the trade of the whole country will be benefitted thereby, and the men running the ships will of course make a reasonable profit.... Unless we have a merchant marine, our navy if called upon for offensive or defensive work is going to be most defective.”
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
