Famous quotes containing the words ships and/or french:
“Two lives that once part are as ships that divide.”
—Edward Bulwer-Lytton (18031873)
“It was not reason that besieged Troy; it was not reason that sent forth the Saracen from the desert to conquer the world; that inspired the crusades; that instituted the monastic orders; it was not reason that produced the Jesuits; above all, it was not reason that created the French Revolution. Man is only great when he acts from the passions; never irresistible but when he appeals to the imagination.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (18041881)
