Famous quotes containing the words richard and/or eberhart:

    When a man of genius is denied of his great love, he goes mad. His brain, instead of being clear to do his work, is tortured, so he begins to think of torture. Torture for those who have tortured him.
    David Boehm, and Louis Friedlander. Dr. Richard Vollin (Bela Lugosi)

    Names on a list, whose faces I do not recall
    But they are gone to early death, who late in school
    Distinguished the belt feed lever from the belt holding pawl.
    —Richard Eberhart (b. 1904)
