John Montagu Douglas Scott

Famous quotes containing the words montagu, douglas and/or scott:

    I have never, in all my various travels, seen but two sorts of people ... I mean men and women, who always have been, and ever will be, the same. The same vices and the same follies have been the fruit of all ages, though sometimes under different names.
    Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)

    How can I live among this gentle
    absolescent breed of heroes, and not weep?
    Unicorns, almost,
    for they are falling into two legends
    in which their stupidity and chivalry
    are celebrated. Each, fool and herb, will be an immortal.
    —Keith Douglas (1920–1944)

    The lightning—it is good for you. Your father was Frankenstein, but your mother was the lightning. She has come down to you again.
    —W. Scott Darling. Erle C. Kenton. Ygor (Bela Lugosi)
