Famous quotes containing the words vessel and/or engaged:
“To go to the world below, having a soul which is like a vessel full of injustice, is the last and worst of all the evils.”
—Plato (c. 427347 B.C.)
“While we were thus engaged in the twilight, we heard faintly, from far down the stream, what sounded like two strokes of a woodchoppers axe, echoing dully through the grim solitude.... When we told Joe of this, he exclaimed, By George, Ill bet that was a moose! They make a noise like that. These sounds affected us strangely, and by their very resemblance to a familiar one, where they probably had so different an origin, enhanced the impression of solitude and wildness.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
