“This is not the English hunt club. This is the W Hotel vs. the Marriott. We wanted to break the mold of what stadiums should look like.”
Michael Bidwill
“The English masses are lovable: they are kind, decent, tolerant, practical and not stupid. The tragedy is that they are too many of them, and that they are aimless, having outgrown the servile functions for which they were encouraged to multiply. One day these huge crowds will have to seize power because there will be nothing else for them to do, and yet they neither demand power nor are ready to make use of it; they will learn only to be bored in a new way.”
Cyril Connolly
“Nothing could be more inappropriate to American literature than its English source since the Americans are not British in sensibility.”
Wallace Stevens
“I'm English. Our dentistry is not world famous. But I made sure I got moldings of my old teeth beforehand because I miss them.”
Christian Bale
“The English people, a lot of them, would not be able to understand a word of spoken Shakespeare. There are people who do and I'm not denying they exist. But it's a far more philistine country than people think.”
Colin Firth
“Red lips are not so red/ As the stained stones kissed by the English dead.”
Wilfred Owen
“The English country gentleman galloping after a fox the unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable”
Oscar Wilde
