Wood Shells

Famous quotes containing the words wood and/or shells:

    It might be that some day I shall be drowned by the sea, or die of pneumonia from sleeping out at night, or be robbed and strangled by strangers. These things happen. Even so, I shall be ahead because of trusting the beach, the night and strangers.
    —Janet Wood Reno (b. 1913)

    Words today are like the shells and rope of seaweed which a child brings home glistening from the beach and which in an hour have lost their lustre.
    Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
