Famous quotes containing the words richard and/or lee:
“See how peaceful it is here. The sea is everything. An immense reservoir of nature where I roam at will.... Think of it. On the surface there is hunger and fear. Men still exercise unjust laws. They fight, tear one another to pieces. A mere few feet beneath the waves their reign ceases, their evil drowns. Here on the ocean floor is the only independence. Here I am free.”
—Earl Felton, and Richard Fleischer. Captain Nemo (James Mason)
“One’s gone, one’s born. It’s an amazing process, isn’t it? As many as I’ve delivered, it never fails to awe me.”
—John Lee Mahin (1902–1984)
