Famous quotes containing the words captain and/or walker:

    I do not believe in erecting statues to those who still live in our hearts, whose bones have not yet crumbled in the earth around us, but I would rather see the statue of Captain Brown in the Massachusetts State-House yard than that of any other man whom I know. I rejoice that I live in this age, that I am his contemporary.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    All you violated ones with gentle hearts;
    You violent dreamers whose cries shout heartbreak;
    —Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)
