Famous quotes containing the words books and/or kevin:

    “Certain books seem to have been written not for the purpose that we learn something from them but that we know that the author was a knowledgeable person.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “Well, on the official record you’re my son. But on this post you’re just another trooper. You heard me tell the recruits what I need from them. Twice that I will expect from you.... You’ve chosen my way of life. I hope you have the guts enough to endure it. But put outa your mind any romantic ideas that it’s a way to glory. It’s a life of suffering and of hardship and uncompromising devotion to your oath and your duty.”
    —James Kevin McGuinness, and John Ford. Lt. Col. Kirby Yorke (John Wayne)
