Famous quotes containing the word ships:

    “The ships we sank with women and children aboard. The lifeboats we shelled. Mmm ... we were good at that.”
    —Emeric Pressburger (1902–1988)

    “Give blue-eyed men their swivel chairs
    To whirl in tall buildings.
    Allow them many ships at sea,
    And on land, soldiers
    And policemen.”
    —Arna Bontemps (1902–1973)

    “Shuttles in the rocking loom of history,
    the dark ships move, the dark ships move,
    their bright ironical names
    like jests of kindness on a murderer’s mouth;”
    —Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
