There were several in "Apocalypse Now" that I learned came from poems many years later, like this one from the Dennis Hopper character that comes from Kipling -- he said it like a quote, but I never knew the source:<BR/><BR/>"If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; . . . If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same . . . Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it." <BR/><BR/>or I didn't know that Marlon Brando's quote was from T.S. Eliot's, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" at the time:<BR/><BR/>"I should have been a pair of ragged claws<BR/> <BR/>Scuttling across the floors of silent seas."Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00665632105920753931noreply@blogger.com
