Greenock Quotes

“Paris is quite a place, to look at as well as the people. I suppose it's because so much has happened here and you know it even if you don't know what it is. In Greenock you know nothing ever happened nor ever will happen, in the historical sense I mean, so you look at it differently, or you don't look at it at all.”
― Alan Sharp, A Green Tree in Gedde

“Mr. Roslin, it seems, had been detained in Greenock for some time, by a foul south-west wind; and everybody knows that Greenock, which is dreadfully addicted to south-westers, is, when they soak, a most wearisome place.”
― John Galt, Selected Short Stories
