Famous quotes containing the words captain and/or white:
“Now that I had heard a part of his history, he appeared singularly destitute,—a captain without any vessel, only a greatcoat! and that perhaps a borrowed one! Not even a dog followed him; only his title stuck to him.”

Floats in the middle distance, becomes
An inhabited cloud.”
