Swan Station

Famous quotes containing the words swan and/or station:

    “The reason is:
    rats leave the sinking ship
    but we . . .
    we . . .
    didn’t leave,
    so the ship
    didn’t sink,
    and that’s madness,
    Lear’s song
    that’s Touchstone’s forest jest,
    that’s swan of Avon logic.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “To act the part of a true friend requires more conscientious feeling than to fill with credit and complacency any other station or capacity in social life.”
    —Sarah Ellis (1812–1872)
