Quotation of the Day for November 10, 2011



"A five-foot swell with a cross-sea breaking over it can make a between-the-wars council house seem a fine piece of architecture, and an open pub a greater wonder than Chartres Cathedral."

- Jonathan Raban, on sailing in poor weather, from his memoir Driving Home: An American Journey.
