The great difference between voyages rests not with the ships, but with the people you meet on them.
My father was a sea captain, so was his father, and his father before him, and all my uncles. My mother's people all followed the sea. I suppose that if I had been born a few years earlier, I would have had my own ship.
The more ships have grown in size and consequence, the more their place in our imagination has shrunk.
It is not the going out of port, but the coming in, that determines the success of a voyage.
I'm like a ship captain: I have a woman in every port.
My experience of ships is that on them one makes an interesting discovery about the world. One finds one can do without it completely.

Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board.
Ships are like children: they need individual attention.
