Famous quotes containing the words richard and/or hughes:
“See how peaceful it is here. The sea is everything. An immense reservoir of nature where I roam at will.... Think of it. On the surface there is hunger and fear. Men still exercise unjust laws. They fight, tear one another to pieces. A mere few feet beneath the waves their reign ceases, their evil drowns. Here on the ocean floor is the only independence. Here I am free.”
—Earl Felton, and Richard Fleischer. Captain Nemo (James Mason)
“Stilled legendary depth:
It was as deep as England: it held
Pike too immense to stir, so immense and old
That past nightfall I dared not cast”
—Ted Hughes (b. 1930)
