Armored River Boat

Famous quotes containing the words armored, river and/or boat:

    The armored cars of dreams, contrived to let us do so many a dangerous thing.
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    Though man is the only beast that can write, he has small reason to be proud of it. When he utters something that is wise it is nothing that the river horse does not know, and most of his creations are the result of accident.
    Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)

    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)
