Famous quotes containing the words louis and/or martin:

    The outer world, from which we cower into our houses, seemed after all a gentle habitable place; and night after night a man’s bed, it seemed, was laid and waiting for him in the fields, where God keeps an open house.
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    You know, we always called each other “goodfellas,” like you’d say to somebody “you’re gonna like this guy, he’s all right, he’s a goodfella, he’s one of us.” You understand, we were goodfellas, wiseguys.
    Nicholas Pileggi, U.S. screenwriter, and Martin Scorsese. Henry Hill (Ray Liotta)
