Sailor Stars

Famous quotes containing the words sailor and/or stars:

    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)

    The stars awaken a certain reverence, because though always present, they are inaccessible.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
