Famous quotes containing the words richard and/or southey:

    Richard Burton is now my epitaph, my cross, my title, my image. I have achieved a kind of diabolical fame. It has nothing to do with my talents as an actor. That counts for little now. I am the diabolically famous Richard Burton.
    Richard Burton (1925–1984)

    And everybody praised the Duke
    Who such a fight did win.—
    But what good came of it at last?
    Quoth little Peterkin.—
    Why that I cannot tell, said he,
    But ‘twas a famous victory.
    —Robert Southey (1774–1843)
