Famous quotes containing the word jack:

    “The beast exists because it is stronger than the thing that you call evolution. In it is some force of life, a demon, driving it through millions of centuries. It does not surrender so easily to weaklings like you and me.”
    —Martin Berkeley, and Jack Arnold. Lucas (Nestor Paiva)
