Famous quotes containing the word capture:
“To capture robbers, first capture their leader.”

“This is no rune nor symbol,
what I mean is it is so simple

a new phase, a new distinction of colour.”

“This is the hope of many adolescent girls—to capture a parent’s heart with love for them as they are, as people. They reject the notion of being loved just because they are the child of the parent. They want the parent to fall in love with them all over again, because being new, they deserve a new love.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
