Famous quotes containing the word arthur:

    Look at your lake, Christine. You’ll love it here, when you get used to the dark. And you’ll love the dark, too. It’s friendly. And peaceful. It brings rest and relief from pain. It’s right under the Opera. The music comes down and the darkness distills it, cleanses it of the suffering that made it, then it’s all beauty and life here is like a resurrection.
    Eric Taylor, and Leroux. Arthur Lubin. Erique Claudin (Claude Rains)
