Captain James Hope

Famous quotes containing the words captain, james and/or hope:

    The captain sat in a commodore’s hat
    And dined in a royal way
    On toasted pigs and pickles and figs
    And gummery bread each day.
    Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)

    Philosophy is at once the most sublime and the most trivial of human pursuits. It works in the minutest crannies and it opens out the widest vistas. It ‘bakes no bread’, as has been said, but it can inspire our souls with courage.
    —William James (1842–1910)

    and I really hope no white person ever has cause to write about me
    because they never understand Black love is Black wealth and
    they’ll
    probably talk about my hard childhood and never understand that
    all the while I was quite happy.
    Nikki Giovanni (b. 1943)
