Famous quotes containing the words alexander and/or crawford:

    I thought when I was a young man that I would conquer the world with truth. I thought I would lead an army greater than Alexander ever dreamed of. Not to conquer nations, but to liberate mankind. With truth. With the golden sound of the Word. But only a few of them heard. Only a few of you understood. The rest of you put on black and sat in chapel.
    Philip Dunne (1908–1992)

    [Asked by an interviewer, “What do YOU want to be?”]: What people want me to be.
    —Joan Crawford (1908–1977)
