Famous quotes containing the words wreck and/or master:

the wreck and not the story of the wreck
the thing itself and not the myth
the drowned face always staring
toward the sun”

“But the hobbledehoy, though he blushes when women address him, and is uneasy even when he is near them, though he is not master of his limbs in a ball-room, and is hardly master of his tongue at any time, is the most eloquent of beings, and especially eloquent among beautiful women.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
