Pulteney Malcolm/1804-1805 Battle of Trafalgar

Famous quotes containing the words malcolm, battle and/or trafalgar:

    Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible. He is a kind of confidence man, preying on people’s vanity, ignorance, or loneliness, gaining their trust and betraying them without remorse.
    —Janet Malcolm (b. 1934)

    The battle for the mind of Ronald Reagan was like the trench warfare of World War I: never have so many fought so hard for such barren terrain.
    Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)

    Now stiff on a pillar with a phallic air
    Nelson stylites in Trafalgar Square
    Reminds the British what once they were.
    Lawrence Durrell (1912–1990)
