He’s always been king of his world, but we’ll teach him fear.... Why in a few months it’ll be up in lights on Broadway: Kong, the Eighth Wonder of the World.
—James Creelman. Merian C. Cooper. Carl Denham (Robert Armstrong)
But Jonnë had a bright sword by his side,
And it was made of the mettle so free,
That had not the king stept his foot aside,
He had smitten his head from his faire bodde.
—Unknown. Johnie Armstrong (l. 45–48)
How soon I may ride the whole world about;
And at the third question thou must not shrink,
But tell me here truly what I do think.”
—Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 30–32)
