Famous quotes containing the word england:

    Casting me adrift, 3500 miles from a port of call. You’re sending me to my doom, eh? Well, you’re wrong, Christian! I’ll take this boat as she floats to England if I must. I’ll live to see you—all of you—hanging from the highest yardarms in the British fleet.
    Talbot Jennings (1896–1985)

    What were the “forests” of England to these?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The great majority of people in England and America are modest, decent and pure-minded and the amount of virgins in the world today is stupendous.
    Barbara Cartland (b. 1901)
