Richard F Gordon

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)

    But carpe diem, Juan, carpe, carpe!
    To-morrow sees another race as gay
    And transient, and devour’d by the same harpy.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
