Long John Reilly

Famous quotes containing the words long, john and/or reilly:

    The only chance for victory over the brainwash is the right of every man to have his ideas judged one at a time.

That seems to me to be the first fight, if there is going to be any intellect left.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    Look Johnny, Spig just joined the Navy. I’m married to it. I run the mess hall. I swab the deck. I chip the rust. You’re afraid that they’ll kick Spig out of the Navy. I’m afraid that they won’t.
    Frank Fenton, William Wister Haines, co-scenarist, and John Ford. Minne Wead (Maureen O’Hara)

    Zola: I need someone to remind me of the old, struggling, carefree days. Fighting for a foothold.
    Paul Cézanne: You can never go back to it. And I never left it.
    —Norman Reilly Raine (1895–1971)
