Special Agent Sam

Famous quotes containing the words special, agent and/or sam:

    Nature is a setting that fits equally well a comic or a mourning piece. In good health, the air is a cordial of incredible virtue. Crossing a bare common, in snow puddles, at twilight, under a clouded sky, without having in my thoughts any occurrence of special good fortune, I have enjoyed a perfect exhilaration. I am glad to the brink of fear.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Caution is the confidential agent of selfishness.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    Pike Bishop: He gave his word.
    Dutch: He gave his word to a railroad.
    Pike Bishop: It’s his word.
    Dutch: That ain’t what counts. It’s who you give it to.
    Walon Green, U.S. screenwriter, and Sam Peckinpaugh (b. 1925)
