Famous quotes containing the words sir and/or gilbert:

“Dug from the tomb of taste-refining time,
Each form is exquisite, each block sublime.
Or good, or bad,—disfigur’d, or deprav’d,—
All art, is at its resurrection sav’d;
All crown’d with glory in the critic’s heav’n,
Each merit magnified, each fault forgiven.”
—Martin Archer, Sir Shee (1769–1850)

“This particularly rapid, unintelligible patter
Isn’t generally heard, and if it is it doesn’t matter!”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
