Special Agent Sam

Famous quotes containing the words special, agent and/or sam:

    The gap between ideals and actualities, between dreams and achievements, the gap that can spur strong men to increased exertions, but can break the spirit of others—this gap is the most conspicuous, continuous land mark in American history. It is conspicuous and continuous not because Americans achieve little, but because they dream grandly. The gap is a standing reproach to Americans; but it marks them off as a special and singularly admirable community among the world’s peoples.
    George F. Will (b. 1941)

    Only a fully trained Jedi knight with the Force as his ally will conquer Vader and his emperor. If you end your training now—if you choose the quick and easy path, as Vader did—you will become an agent of evil.
    Leigh Brackett (1915–1978)

    Pike Bishop: He gave his word.
    Dutch: He gave his word to a railroad.
    Pike Bishop: It’s his word.
    Dutch: That ain’t what counts. It’s who you give it to.
    Walon Green, U.S. screenwriter, and Sam Peckinpaugh (b. 1925)
