Famous quotes containing the words melville and/or fuller:

    We are only what we are; not what we would be; nor every thing we hope for. We are but a step in a scale, that reaches further above us than below.
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Kelly: I washed my face clean the morning I woke up in your bedroom.
    Griff: You got morals in my bedroom?
    Kelly: You had nothing to do with it. Nothing! It was your mirror.
    Griff: You must have taken a long look.
    Kelly: It was the longest look of my life. I saw a broken-down piece of machinery. Nothing but the buck, the bed, and the bottle for the rest of my life.
    —Samuel Fuller (b. 1911)
