Famous quotes containing the words baron and/or taylor:

    “I loathe that I did love,
    In youth that I thought sweet;”
    —Thomas Vaux, 2d Baron Vaux Of Harrowden (1510–1566)

    “The Taylor and the Painter often contribute to the Success of a Tragedy more than the Poet. Scenes affect ordinary Minds as much as Speeches; and our Actors are very sensible, that a well-dressed Play has sometimes brought them as full Audiences, as a well-written one.... But however the Show and Outside of the Tragedy may work upon the Vulgar, the more understanding Part of the Audience immediately see through it, and despise it.”
    —Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
