Famous quotes containing the words libel and/or case:
“Nor do they trust their tongue alone,
But speak a language of their own;
Can read a nod, a shrug, a look,
Far better than a printed book;
Convey a libel in a frown,
And wink a reputation down.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“I’m here in case you succeed.”
—Dean Devlin, U.S. screenwriter, and Roland Emmerich. Jack O’Neil (Kurt Russell)
