Famous quotes containing the words october, britain and/or ireland:

    “The autumnal change of our woods has not yet made a deep impression on our own literature yet. October has hardly tinged our poetry.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I see no cameras! Where are the cameras?”
    —Mary, Queen of Great Britain (1867–1953)

    “They call them the haunted shores, these stretches of Devonshire and Cornwall and Ireland which rear up against the westward ocean. Mists gather here, and sea fog, and eerie stories. That’s not because there are more ghosts here than in other places, mind you. It’s just that people who live hereabouts are strangely aware of them.”
    —Dodie Smith, and Lewis Allen. Roderick Fitzgerald (Ray Milland)
