  • Memorable Quotes

    You are not going to marry Patric. you’re too strong and smart for that fellow. He could never tame you. I could tame you but I’m too old to be interested and too smart to try. I would rather live in peace, have my little ship and my tobacco. I am not looking for anything more. My time of adventure is done.
