Famous quotes containing the words naval and/or base:
“The world was a huge ball then, the universe a might harmony of ellipses, everything moved mysteriously, incalculable distances through the ether.
We used to feel the awe of the distant stars upon us. All that led to was the eighty-eight naval guns, ersatz, and the night air-raids over cities. A magnificent spectacle.
After the collapse of the socialist dream, I came to America.”
—John Dos Passos (18961970)
“Then must you speak
Of one the lovd not wisely but too well;
Of one not easily jealous, but, being wrought,
Perplexd in the extreme; of one whose hand,
Like the base Indian, threw a pearl away
Richer than all his tribe;”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
