Boat Quotes
-
Rigondeaux was Cuba's answer to Bobby Fischer who transformed into a kind of Lee Harvey Oswald traitorous creature in that society.

He made it look so easy, his career has never recovered.
Brin-Jonathan Butler

William Makepeace Thackeray

I was curious as to why a million Americans weren't lining the beaches in boats and with buckets to preserve the life sustaining resource that is the Gulf of Mexico.

If that ever happened in San Diego I'm afraid I might be forced to move.

We wanted a musical number that would capture the exhilaration of being out on a boat as they were and sailing with the stars and all that. So that's the origin of We Know the Way.

So that was early on, we conceived of like that should be a musical moment [in Maona].
