Walter Wellesley

Famous quotes containing the words walter and/or wellesley:

    With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespear when I measure my mind against his.... But I am bound to add that I pity the man who cannot enjoy Shakespear. He has outlasted thousands of abler thinkers, and will outlast a thousand more.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    I’ve always had the notion that people go to spectator sports to have fun and then they grab the paper to read about it and have fun again.
    —Walter Wellesley (Red)
