Famous quotes containing the words title and/or duke:
“He who, in an enlightened and literary society, aspires to be a great poet, must first become a little child. He must take to pieces the whole web of his mind. He must unlearn much of that knowledge which has perhaps constituted hitherto his chief title to superiority. His very talents will be a hindrance to him.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
“That celebrated,
Cultivated
Underrated
Nobleman,
The Duke of Plaza-Toro!”
