Famous quotes containing the words john and/or reynolds:

    Think of what our Nation stands for,
    Books from Boots’ and country lanes,
    Free speech, free passes, class distinction,
    Democracy and proper drains.
    —Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)

    My dear dear Mother,
    If you don’t let me come home I die—I am all over ink,
    and my fine clothes have been spoilt—I have been tost in a blanket, and seen a ghost.
    I remain, my dear dear Mother,
    Your dutiful and most unhappy son,
    Freddy.
    P.S. Remember me to my Father.
    —Frederick Reynolds (18th century)
