Famous quotes containing the words richard and/or chase:

    I am not what is called a civilized man, professor. I have done with society for reasons that seem good to me. Therefore I do not obey its laws.
    Earl Felton, and Richard Fleischer. Captain Nemo (James Mason)

    I tell people all the time, you have to be in love with that pot. You have to put all your love in that pot. If you’re in a hurry, just eat your sandwich and go. Don’t even start cooking, because you can’t do anything well in a hurry. I love food. I love serving people. I love satisfying people.
    —Leah Chase (b. 1923)
