Bernard Montgomery

Famous quotes containing the words bernard and/or montgomery:

    It does not follow ... that the right to criticize Shakespeare involves the power of writing better plays. And in fact—do not be surprised at my modesty—I do not profess to write better plays.
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    The fates are not quite obdurate;
    They have a grim, sardonic way
    Of granting them who supplicate
    The thing they wanted yesterday.
    —Roselle Mercier Montgomery (1874–1933)
