Famous quotes containing the word nugent:

    Very ingenious, Captain. You make me suspect your Cochise has studied under Alexander the Great, or Bonaparte at the least.

    Capt. Rev. Samuel Clayton: What good did that do ya?
    Ethan Edwards: By what you preach none. By what that Comanch believes, ain’t got no eyes he can’t enter the spirit land. Has to wander forever between the winds.

    Lars Jorgensen: It’s this country killed my boy. Yes, by golly, I tell you Ethan—
    Mrs. Jorgensen: Now Lars. It just so happens we be Texicans. A Texican is nothing but a human man way out on a limb, this year, and next, maybe for a hundred more. But I don’t think it’ll be forever. Someday this country’s going to be a fine good place to be. Maybe it needs our bones in the ground before that time can come.
    —Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
