New Haven

Famous quotes containing the word haven:

“Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir
Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine,”
—John Masefield (1878–1967)

“Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
