Famous quotes containing the word ships:

    “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;”
    —Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)

    “The ships we sank with women and children aboard. The lifeboats we shelled. Mmm ... we were good at that.”
    —Emeric Pressburger (1902–1988)

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