Famous quotes containing the word england:
“Always in England if you had the type of brain that was capable of understanding T.S. Eliots poetry or Kants logic, you could be sure of finding large numbers of people who would hate you violently.”
—D.J. Taylor (b. 1960)
“I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The games afoot!
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry, God for Harry! England and Saint George!”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Tried by a New England eye, or the more practical wisdom of modern times, they are the oracles of a race already in its dotage; but held up to the sky, which is the only impartial and incorruptible ordeal, they are of a piece with its depth and serenity, and I am assured that they will have a place and significance as long as there is a sky to test them by.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
