Captain Von Trapp

Famous quotes containing the words captain, von and/or trapp:

    I do not believe in erecting statues to those who still live in our hearts, whose bones have not yet crumbled in the earth around us, but I would rather see the statue of Captain Brown in the Massachusetts State-House yard than that of any other man whom I know. I rejoice that I live in this age, that I am his contemporary.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Music is either sacred or secular. The sacred agrees with its dignity, and here has its greatest effect on life, an effect that remains the same through all ages and epochs. Secular music should be cheerful throughout.
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    The due process of law as we use it, I believe, rests squarely on the liberal idea of conflict and resolution.
    —June L. Trapp (b. 1930)
