Famous quotes containing the words ships and/or class:
“Two lives that once part are as ships that divide.”
—Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803–1873)
“There is a struggle between the Oriental and the Occidental in every nation; some who would be forever contemplating the sun, and some who are hastening toward the sunset. The former class says to the latter, When you have reached the sunset, you will be no nearer to the sun. To which the latter replies, But we so prolong the day.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
