Famous quotes containing the words big, blue and/or deck:
“Ive tried to open the door. My knock isnt that big a sound. But it is like the knock in The Wizard of Oz. It set up this echo through the halls until it was heard by everyone.”
—Shannon Faulkner (b. c. 1975)
“The blue we bathe in is the blue we breathe. The blue we breathe, I fear, is what we want from life and only find in fiction. For the voyeur, fiction is whats called going all the way.”
—William Gass (b. 1924)
“O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weatherd every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.”
—Walt Whitman (18191892)
