Famous quotes containing the word complex:
“I have met charming people, lots who would be charming if they hadnt got a complex about the British and everyone has pleasant and cheerful manners and I like most of the American voices. On the other hand I dont believe they have any God and their hats are frightful. On balance I prefer the Arabs.”
—Freya Stark (18931993)
