Famous quotes containing the words stranded and/or vessel:
“Durer would have seen a reason for living
in a town like this, with eight stranded whales
to look at;”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
“A man’s interest in the world is only the overflow from his interest in himself. When you are a child your vessel is not yet full; so you care for nothing but your own affairs. When you grow up, your vessel overflows; and you are a politician, a philosopher, or an explorer and adventurer. In old age the vessel dries up: there is no overflow: you are a child again.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
