Santa Mar%C3%ADa Class Frigate

Famous quotes containing the words santa, class and/or frigate:

    On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe.
    Johnny Mercer (1909–1976)

    Why, since man and woman were created for each other, had He made their desires so dissimilar? Why should one class of women be able to dwell in luxurious seclusion from the trials of life, while another class performed their loathsome tasks? Surely His wisdom had not decreed that one set of women should live in degradation and in the end should perish that others might live in security, preserve their frappeed chastity, and in the end be saved.
    Madeleine [Blair], U.S. prostitute and “madam.” Madeleine, ch. 10 (1919)

    There is no Frigate like a Book
    To take us Lands away
    Nor any Coursers like a Page
    Of prancing Poetry.
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
