“Captain Future!" Ezra's faded eyes were agleam with hero worship. "The greatest feat of space pilotin' in history! No one else in the universe would even have tried it!”
Edmond Hamilton, Outlaws of the Moon

“Joan had gained her feet. But the girl had not tried to make an escape.
"I'll not leave you, Captain Future!" she cried pluckily.
"Don't be a fool!" Curt cried, his gray eyes blazing. "You can't..."
"Captain Future!" screamed the girl. "Behind you-"
Curt whirled. But too late. Jovians who had rushed around to get at him from behind now leaped up upon him.”
Edmond Hamilton

“The fear had altered now into a kind of numbness, as though it were too large to be contained within a human body and had ebbed away, carrying with it all the substances of strength and will as water carries sand.”
Edmond Hamilton, City At World's End
