Soviet Ship

Famous quotes containing the words soviet and/or ship:

    The tremendous outflow of intellectuals that formed such a prominent part of the general exodus from Soviet Russia in the first years of the Bolshevist Revolution seems today like the wanderings of some mythical tribe whose bird-signs and moon-signs I now retrieve from the desert dust.

    A ship’s not a ship to me ‘til she gets her teeth into green water.
