Brackett

Famous quotes containing the word brackett:

“If you read only the best, you will have no need of reading the other books, because the latter are nothing but a rehash of the best and the oldest. To read Shakespeare, Plato, Dante, Milton, Spenser, Chaucer, and their compeers in prose, is to read in condensed form what all others have diluted.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)

“Mississippi: I told you I was no good with a gun.
Bull: The trouble is Doc, Cole was in front of the gun. The safe place is behind Mississippi when he shoots that thing.”
—Leigh Brackett (1915–1978)

“Cole Thornton: What happened?
Nelse McLeod: What usually happens to a man—a woman. Seems like he tangled with some wanderin’ petticoat. He’s been drunk ever since.”
—Leigh Brackett (1915–1978)
