Famous quotes containing the words planet and/or pirates:
“It was not important that they survive.
What mattered was that they should bear
Some lineament or character,
Some affluence, if only half-perceived,
In the poverty of their words,
Of the planet of which they were part.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Power first, or no leading class. In politics and trade, bruisers and pirates are of better promise than talkers and clerks.”
