Famous quotes containing the words richard and/or lovell:

    “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)

    “Is that the wind dying? O no;
    It’s only two devils, that blow
    Through a murderer’s bones, to and fro,
    In the ghosts’ moonshine.”
    —Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803–1849)
