Captain Lawrence

Famous quotes containing the words captain and/or lawrence:

    So universal and widely related is any transcendent moral greatness, and so nearly identical with greatness everywhere and in every age,—as a pyramid contracts the nearer you approach its apex,—that, when I look over my commonplace-book of poetry, I find that the best of it is oftenest applicable, in part or wholly, to the case of Captain Brown.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It’s a thing of violence, to whom death would be a merciful release.
    —Edward T. Lowe. Erle C. Kenton. Lawrence Talbot (Lon Chaney)
