“I love how you can shoot a movie in a month or two or three of four, and it's this encapsulated story that you box up and ship out into the world, and what it is, is what it is.” WorldTwoStoriesThreeFourMonthsBoxesShips Author:Steven Strait
“Travel is the realm of the impossible adventures, the quick fix, the ship passing in the night. It entitles you to meet interesting people, whom you would never meet, even if you laid traps or advertised for them. Not only do you met them, but you also unmeet them, all in the space of, it often seems, a mere compacted evening. As there is so little time, bodies in motion drop their guard and immediately get on with their stories. Then the proverbial ships part, each to its destination, never again to brush each other's wake.” PeopleIfsLittlesStoriesBodySeemsNightSpaceInterestingImpossibleAdventureMetsMerePassingPassingsShipsEveningRealmsDestinationTrapsBrushesLittle TimeProverbialQuick FixesBodies In Motion Author:Lawrence Millman
“There was this book I read and loved, The story of a ship Who sailed around the world and found That nothing else exists Beyond its own two sails And wooden shell And what is held within. All else is sure to pass. We clutch and grasp And debate what's truly permanent.” WorldTwoBookStoriesFoundDebateShipsAround The WorldPermanentShellsSailClutch Author:Conor Oberst
“I think kids abandon stories all the time. They start stories and get frustrated or get a different, better idea. I think that it is more worthwhile to stick with a story and revise it and try to finish it than abandon ship. Revisions, for any writer, are the name of the game.” ThinkingTryingIdeasDifferentStoriesKidsGamesNamesSticksShipsAbandonWorthwhileFrustratedRevision Author:Gail Carson Levine
“Here ends the story of a ship, but there will always be other ships, for we are an island race. Through all our centuries, the sea has ruled our destiny. There will always be other ships and men to sail in them. It is these men, in peace or war, to whom we owe so much. Above all victories, beyond all loss, in spite of changing values in a changing world, they give to us, their countrymen, eternal and indomitable pride.” MenWorldGivingWarEndsStoriesValuesLossRaceDestinySeaCenturyPrideVictoryEternalShipsIslandsSpiteSailOur DestinyCountrymenIndomitable Book:The Essential Noël Coward Compendium: The Very Best of His Work, Life and Times Source: The Essential Noël Coward Compendium: The Very Best of His Work, Life and Times
