Small Boat

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or boat:

    “Ill-weaved ambition, how much art thou shrunk!
    When that this body did contain a spirit,
    A kingdom for it was too small a bound,
    But now two paces of the vilest earth
    Is room enough.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Every time I get happy
    the Nana-hex comes through.
    Birds turn into plumber’s tools,
    a sonnet turns into a dirty joke,
    a wind turns into a tracheotomy,
    a boat turns into a corpse....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
