Famous quotes containing the words london and/or region:

    “An actor who knows his business ought to be able to make the London telephone directory sound enthralling.”
    —Donald Sinden (b. 1923)

    “Then, that no region of the universe
    Should remain void of life, the floor of heaven
    Was peopled with the stars and godlike forms,
    The seas became the abode of glittering fish.
    Earth took the beasts and mobile air the birds.
    A holier animal was wanting.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
