Quotes by Richard Halliburton

“Just about a month from now Im set adrift, with a diploma for a sail and lots of nerve for oars.”

Just about a month from now Im set adrift, with a diploma for a sail and lots of nerve for oars.

No, theres going to be no even tenor with me. The more uneven it is the happier I shall be.
