Along the beach I never collected shells from my father's shore.
Corey Hart
From each one of them rose separate columns of smoke, meeting in a pall overhead, and through the smoke came stabbing flashes of fire as German shells burst with thudding shocks of sound. This was the front line of battle.
Philip Gibbs
I'll admit that I do quite like drinks that come in coconut shells. So there's always that.
Danica McKellar
In fact, we started off with two or three different shells and the shell had life of its own.
Ken Thompson
It has long been a fact familiar to geologists, that, both on the east and west coasts of the central part of Scotland, there are lines of raised beaches, containing marine shells of the same species as those now inhabiting the neighbouring sea.
Charles Lyell
It is absolutely true in war, were other things equal, that numbers, whether men, shells, bombs, etc., would be supreme. Yet it is also absolutely true that other things are never equal and can never be equal.
J. F. C. Fuller
One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach.
Anne Spencer
One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Edward Forbes
The sky seemed filled with diving planes and the black bursts of exploding antiaircraft shells.
Dorie Miller
The town caught fire in several places, shells crashed and burst, and solid shot rained like hail.
James Longstreet
The trouble with Germans is not that they fire shells, but that they engrave them with quotations from Kant.
Karl Kraus
Words today are like the shells and rope of seaweed which a child brings home glistening from the beach and which in an hour have lost their luster.
