Famous quotes containing the words swift and/or boat:

    “I am struck by the way people behave on the Tube. They look at each other beadily and inquisitively, and something goes on in their thoughts which must be equivalent to the way dogs and other animals, when they meet, sniff each other’s arses and nuzzle each other’s fur.”
    —Graham Swift (b. 1949)

    “Clear and diminished like a scene cut in cameo
    The lighthouse, and the boat on the beach, and the two shapes
    Of the woman and the man;”
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
