Beach Improvement Company

Famous quotes containing the words beach, improvement and/or company:

    “Across the lonely beach we flit,
    One little sandpiper and I;
    And fast I gather, bit by bit,
    The scattered driftwood, bleached and dry.
    The wild waves reach their hands for it,
    The wild wind raves, the tide runs high,
    As up and down the beach we flit—
    One little sandpiper and I.”
    —Celia Thaxter (”Laighton”)

    “... till women are more rationally educated, the progress of human virtue and improvement in knowledge must receive continual checks.”
    —Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)

    “Men with secrets tend to be drawn to each other, not because they want to share what they know but because they need the company of the like-minded, the fellow afflicted.”
    —Don Delillo (b. 1926)
