Famous quotes containing the words duncan and/or campbell:
“We become lovers when we see Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet makes us students. The blood of Duncan is upon our hands, with Timon we rage against the world, and when Lear wanders out upon the heath the terror of madness touches us. Ours is the white sinlessness of Desdemona, and ours, also, the sin of Iago.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“To be made to hold his tongue is the greatest insult you can offer him—though he might be ready with a poker to make you hold yours.”
—Mrs. Patrick Campbell (1865–1940)
