Famous quotes containing the words john and/or savage:

    “The kind of scientist who has no room for faith in his universe is rather old-fashioned nowadays.”
    —Robert D. Andrews, and Nick Grindé. Dr. John Garth (Boris Karloff)

    “For do but note a wild and wanton herd
    Or race of youthful and unhandled colts
    Fetching mad bounds, bellowing and neighing loud,
    Which is the hot condition of their blood;
    If they but hear perchance a trumpet sound,
    Or any air of music touch their ears,
    You shall perceive them make a mutual stand,
    Their savage eyes turned to a modest gaze
    By the sweet power of music.”
    —William Shake{peare (1564–1616)
