Famous quotes containing the words richard and/or gordon:
“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)
“Sad mortals! thus the gods still plague you!
He lost his labor, I my jest;
For he was drowned, and I’ve the ague.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
