Rigged Ship

Famous quotes containing the words rigged and/or ship:

“Museums, museums, museums, object-lessons rigged out to illustrate the unsound theories of archaeologists, crazy attempts to co-ordinate and get into a fixed order that which has no fixed order and will not be co-ordinated! It is sickening! Why must all experience be systematized?... A museum is not a first-hand contact: it is an illustrated lecture. And what one wants is the actual vital touch.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“But we must build our walls, for what we are
Necessitates it, and we must construct
The ship to navigate behind them, there.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
