Narrow Boats

Famous quotes containing the words narrow and/or boats:

    Now narrow minds can develop as well through persecution as through benevolence; they can assure themselves of their power by tyrannizing cruelly or beneficently over others; they go the way their nature guides them. Add to this the guidance of interest, and you will have the key to most social riddles.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    The frowsy sponge boats keep coming in
    with the obliging air of retrievers,
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
