Captain Von Trapp

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

    O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
    The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won,
    The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
    While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
    But O heart! heart! heart!
    O the bleeding drops of red,
    Where on the deck my Captain lies,
    Fallen cold and dead.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    That we understand something perfectly, that we accomplish something better than anyone else around us, that is what matters.

    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)
