Famous quotes containing the word english:

    “English audiences of working people are like an instrument that responds to the player. Thought ripples up and down them, and if in some heart the speaker strikes a dissonance there is a swift answer. Always the voice speaks from gallery or pit, the terrible voice which detaches itself in every English crowd, full of caustic wit, full of irony or, maybe, approval.”
    —Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)

    “The English Writers of Tragedy are possessed with a Notion, that when they represent a virtuous or innocent Person in Distress, they ought not to leave him till they have delivered him out of his Troubles, or made him triumph over his Enemies.”
    —Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    “The calmest husbands make the stormiest wives.”
    —17th-century English proverb, pt. 1, quoted in Isaac d’Israeli, Curiosities of Literature (1834)
