Famous quotes containing the words maiden, voyage and/or april:

    The Maiden caught me in the Wild,
    Where I was dancing merrily;

    And Lock’d me up with a golden Key.

    The world’s a ship on its voyage out, and not a voyage complete; and the pulpit is its prow.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    In April 1917 the illusion of isolation was destroyed, America came to the end of innocence, and of the exuberant freedom of bachelor independence. That the responsibilities of world power have not made us happier is no surprise. To help ourselves manage them, we have replaced the illusion of isolation with a new illusion of omnipotence.
    Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)
