Famous quotes containing the words ships and/or class:
“Two lives that once part are as ships that divide.”
—Edward Bulwer-Lytton (1803–1873)
“There is a certain class of unbelievers who sometimes ask me such questions as, if I think that I can live on vegetable food alone; and to strike at the root of the matter at once,—for the root is faith,—I am accustomed to answer such, that I can live on board nails. If they cannot understand that, they cannot understand much that I have to say.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
