Sailor Star Maker

Famous quotes containing the words sailor, star and/or maker:

    The sailor is frankness, the landsman is finesse. Life is not a game with the sailor, demanding the long head—no intricate game of chess where few moves are made in straight-forwardness and ends are attained by indirection, an oblique, tedious, barren game hardly worth that poor candle burnt out in playing it.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    O star of morning and of liberty!
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    A cry of bitter dead men who will never
    Attend a gentle maker of musical joy.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
