Sir Noel

Famous quotes containing the words sir and/or noel:

    When the critics come around it’s always too late.
    Sidney, Sir Nolan (1917–1992)

    If ever I should condescend to prose,
    I’ll write poetical commandments, which
    Shall supersede beyond all doubt all those
    That went before; in these I shall enrich
    My text with many things that no one knows,
    And carry precept to the highest pitch:
    I’ll call the work ‘Longinus o’er a Bottle,
    Or, Every Poet his own Aristotle.’
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
