USS Whitehall 1850/%E2%80%9Cthe Worst Boat of All Ferryboats%E2%80%9D

Famous quotes containing the words whitehall, worst and/or boat:

    I say to myself that I mustn’t let myself be cut off in there, and yet the moment I enter my bag is taken out of my hand, I’m pushed in, shepherded, nursed and above all cut off, alone. Whitehall envelops me.
    Richard Crossman (1907–1974)

    But the worst one of all to leave uncurbed,
    Unsocialized, is ingenuity:
    Which for no sordid self-aggrandizement,
    For nothing but its own blind satisfaction ...
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Casting me adrift, 3500 miles from a port of call. You’re sending me to my doom, eh? Well, you’re wrong, Christian! I’ll take this boat as she floats to England if I must. I’ll live to see you—all of you—hanging from the highest yardarms in the British fleet.
    Talbot Jennings (1896–1985)
