Playing Surface

Famous quotes containing the words playing and/or surface:

    “Come, come” said Tom’s father, “at your time of life,
    There’s no longer excuse for thus playing the rake—
    It is time you should think, boy, of taking a wife.”
    “Why, so it is, father—whose wife shall I take?”
    Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

    See how peaceful it is here. The sea is everything. An immense reservoir of nature where I roam at will.... Think of it. On the surface there is hunger and fear. Men still exercise unjust laws. They fight, tear one another to pieces. A mere few feet beneath the waves their reign ceases, their evil drowns. Here on the ocean floor is the only independence. Here I am free.
    Earl Felton, and Richard Fleischer. Captain Nemo (James Mason)
