Famous quotes containing the words ships and/or mentioned:

    Two lives that once part are as ships that divide.
    Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803–1873)

    She hears me strike the board and say
    That she is under ban
    Of all good men and women,
    Being mentioned with a man
    That has the worst of all bad names.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
