Famous quotes containing the words richard and/or taylor:

    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 the Devil did grin, for his darling sin
    Is pride that apes humility.
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
