Original Captain

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or captain:

“He would cry out on life, that what it wants
Is not its own love back in copy speech,
But counter-love, original response.”

“So universal and widely related is any transcendent moral greatness, and so nearly identical with greatness everywhere and in every age,—as a pyramid contracts the nearer you approach its apex,—that, when I look over my commonplace-book of poetry, I find that the best of it is oftenest applicable, in part or wholly, to the case of Captain Brown.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
