Captain Von Trapp

Famous quotes containing the words captain, von and/or trapp:

    The night was thick and hazy
    When the “Piccadilly Daisy”
    Carried down the crew and captain in the sea;
    And I think the water downed ‘em;
    For they never, never found ‘em,
    And I know they didn’t come ashore with me.
    Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)

    Tell me, how do you cope so calmly
    With crazy youth’s arrogant way?
    Indeed, youth would be insufferable,
    Had I myself not also been insufferable.
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    The due process of law as we use it, I believe, rests squarely on the liberal idea of conflict and resolution.
    —June L. Trapp (b. 1930)
