“The word “conservative” is used by the BBC as a portmanteau word of abuse for anyone whose views differ from the insufferable, smug, sanctimonious, naive, guilt-ridden, wet, pink orthodoxy of that sunset home of the third-rate minds of that third-rate decade, the nineteen-sixties.”
—Norman Tebbit (b. 1931)
“... unless the actor is able to discourse most eloquently without opening his lips, he lacks the prime essential of a finished artist.”
—Julia Marlowe (1870–1950)
