Famous quotes containing the word ships:

    “Give blue-eyed men their swivel chairs
    To whirl in tall buildings.
    Allow them many ships at sea,
    And on land, soldiers
    And policemen.”
    —Arna Bontemps (1902–1973)

    “A modern fleet of ships does not so much make use of the sea as exploit a highway.”
    —Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    “Oh, let me midlife mourn by the shrined
    And druid herons’ vows
    The voyage to ruin I must run,
    Dawn ships clouted aground,
    Yet, though I cry with tumbledown tongue,
    Count my blessings aloud....”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
