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

    “Especially when the October wind
    With frosty fingers punishes my hair,”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “Only in Britain could it be thought a defect to be “too clever by half.” The probability is that too many people are too stupid by three-quarters.”
    —John Major (b. 1943)

    “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)
