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)
