Famous quotes containing the words captains of, vessel, west and/or point:

    “Captains of industry, your aimless power
    Awakens harsh velleities of time....”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “A man’s interest in the world is only the overflow from his interest in himself. When you are a child your vessel is not yet full; so you care for nothing but your own affairs. When you grow up, your vessel overflows; and you are a politician, a philosopher, or an explorer and adventurer. In old age the vessel dries up: there is no overflow: you are a child again.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “For some reason a nation feels as shy about admitting that it ever went forth to war for the sake of more wealth as a man would about admitting that he had accepted an invitation just for the sake of the food. This is one of humanity’s most profound imbecilities, as perhaps the only justification for asking one’s fellowmen to endure the horrors of war would be the knowledge that if they did not fight they would starve.”
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    “The point of vision and desire are the same.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
