Famous quotes containing the words work, richard and/or lester:

    In the beginning, I wanted to enter what was essentially a man’s field. I wanted to prove I could do it. Then I found that when I did as well as the men in the field I got more credit for my work because I am a woman, which seems unfair.
    Eugenie Clark (b. 1922)

    I don’t know how you feel, professor, but I feel like a knife that’s just stabbed a friend in the back.
    Earl Felton, and Richard Fleischer. Ned Land (Kirk Douglas)

    Take it easy, soldier. Everybody gets a little “noivous” in the “soivice.”
    Alvah Bessie, Ranald MacDougall, and Lester Cole. Raoul Walsh. Captain Nelson (Errol Flynn)
