Captain White

Famous quotes containing the words captain and/or white:

    What you fail to understand is the power of hate. It can fill the heart as surely as love can.
    Earl Felton, and Richard Fleischer. Captain Nemo (James Mason)

    But seldom the laurel wreath is seen
    Unmixed with pensive pansies dark;
    There’s a light and a shadow on every man
    Who at last attains his lifted mark—
    Nursing through night the ethereal spark.
    Elate he never can be;
    He feels that spirits which glad had hailed his worth,
    Sleep in oblivion.—The shark
    Glides white through the phosphorus sea.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
