“You were sent to get food, not treasure. You can’t eat pieces of eight.... You place an absurd value on the cheapest of human commodities.”
—Earl Felton, and Richard Fleischer. Captain Nemo (James Mason)
“It was a poetic recreation to watch those distant sails steering for half-fabulous ports, whose very names are a mysterious music to our ears.... It is remarkable that men do not sail the sea with more expectation. Nothing was ever accomplished in a prosaic mood.”
