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)
