Famous quotes containing the words sunken, enemy and/or vessels:

    “The past absconds
    With our fortunes just as we were rounding a major
    Bend in the swollen river; not to see ahead
    Becomes the only predicament when what
    Might be sunken there is mentioned only
    In crabbed allusions but will be back tomorrow.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “Powerful, yes, that is the word that I constantly rolled on my tongue; I dreamed of absolute power, the kind that forces to kneel, that forces the enemy to capitulate, finally converting him, and the more the enemy is blind, cruel, sure of himself, buried in his conviction, the more his admission proclaims the royalty of he who has brought on his defeat.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “First, there is the power of the Wind, constantly exerted over the globe.... Here is an almost incalculable power at our disposal, yet how trifling the use we make of it! It only serves to turn a few mills, blow a few vessels across the ocean, and a few trivial ends besides. What a poor compliment do we pay to our indefatigable and energetic servant!”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
