Famous quotes containing the words flying and/or boat:
“A word carries far—very far—deals destruction through time as the bullets go flying through space.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
“The utmost familiarity with dead streams, or with the ocean, would not prepare a man for this peculiar navigation; and the most skillful boatman anywhere else would here be obliged to take out his boat and carry round a hundred times, still with great risk, as well as delay, where the practiced batteau-man poles up with comparative ease and safety.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
