Prince Peter

Famous quotes containing the words prince and/or peter:

    “A chaplain is the minister of the Prince of Peace serving the host of the God of War—Mars. As such, he is as incongruous as a musket would be on the altar at Christmas. Why, then, is he there? Because he indirectly subserves the purpose attested by the cannon; because too he lends the sanction of the religion of the meek to that which practically is the abrogation of everything but brute Force.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “Ellie: By the way, what’s your name?
    Peter: What’s that?
    Ellie: Who are you?
    Peter: Who, me? I’m the whippoorwill that cries in the night. I’m the soft morning breeze that caresses your lovely face.
    Ellie: You’ve got a name, haven’t you?
    Peter: Yeah, I got a name. Peter Warne.
    Ellie: Peter Warne? I don’t like it.”
    —Robert Riskin (1897–1955)
