Famous quotes containing the word ship:
“But we must build our walls, for what we are
Necessitates it, and we must construct
The ship to navigate behind them, there.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“We want some coat woven of elastic steel, stout as the first, and limber as the second. We want a ship in these billows we inhabit. An angular, dogmatic house would be rent to chips and splinters, in this storm of many elements. No, it must be tight, and fit to the form of man, to live at all; as a shell is the architecture of a house founded on the sea.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
