Famous quotes containing the words richard c, richard and/or hoagland:

    We saw Thee in Thy balmy nest,
    Young Dawn of our Eternal Day!
    We saw Thine eyes break from the East
    And chase the trembling shades away.
    We saw Thee and we blest the sight,
    We saw Thee by Thine own sweet light.
    Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)

    Richard Burton is now my epitaph, my cross, my title, my image. I have achieved a kind of diabolical fame. It has nothing to do with my talents as an actor. That counts for little now. I am the diabolically famous Richard Burton.
    Richard Burton (1925–1984)

    Animals are stylized characters in a kind of old saga—stylized because even the most acute of them have little leeway as they play out their parts.
    —Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
