Capital

Famous quotes containing the word capital:

“Oh, a capital ship for an ocean trip,
Was the Walloping Window Blind;
No gale that blew dismayed her crew
Or troubled the captain’s mind.”
—Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)

“For mankind, speech with a capital S is especially meaningful and committing, more than the content communicated. The outcry of the newborn and the sound of the bells are fraught with mystery more than the baby’s woeful face or the venerable tower.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)

“Bob, it’s the second night of violence in this normally quiet, yet generally swinging, Casino Capital of the East.”
—John Guare (b. 1938)
