Famous quotes containing the word england:

    “Why should I go to England with her? Because you bid me, or because she wishes it,—or simply because England is the most damnable, Puritanical, God-forgotten, and stupid country on the face of the globe?”
    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    “What else has been English news for so long a season? What else, of late years, has been England to us,—to us who read books, we mean?... Carlyle alone, since the death of Coleridge, has kept the promise of England. It is the best apology for all the bustle and the sin of commerce, that it has made us acquainted with the thoughts of this man.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “He was inordinately proud of England and he abused her incessantly.”
    —H.G. (Herbert George)
