Screw Sloop Launched

Famous quotes containing the words screw and/or launched:

    Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    We’re designing a new spacecraft to be launched and there are no women. Where are they? I wonder. I worry.
    Andrea Dupree (b. 1939)
