Famous quotes containing the words grand and/or mistress:
“There aren’t any good, brave causes left. If the big bang does come, and we all get killed off, it won’t be in aid of the old-fashioned grand design. It’ll just be for the Brave New-nothing-very-much-thank-you. About as pointless and inglorious as stepping in front of a bus. No, there’s nothing left for it, me boy, but to let yourself be butchered by the women.”
—John Osborne (1929–1994)
“A mistress never is nor can be a friend. While you agree, you are lovers; and when it is over, anything but friends.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
