“Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to the tremendous difficulties”
Charles H. Spurgeon
“Delusions of grandeur make me feel a lot better about myself.”
Lily Tomlin
“The true grandeur of humanity is in moral elevation, sustained, enlightened and decorated by the intellect of man”
Charles Sumner
“There are minds which easily sink into submission, that look on grandeur with undistinguishing reverence, and discover no defect where there is elevation of rank and affluence of riches”
Samuel Johnson
“An agile but unintelligent and abnormal German, possessed of the mania of grandeur”
Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy
“I come from a place that likes grandeur; it likes large gestures; it is not inhibited by flourish; it is a rhetorical society; it is a society of physical performance; it is a society of style.”
Derek Walcott
“At present, Spacey seems far stronger at conveying Richard's haughty grandeur and petulant temper-tantrums than he is at getting to the heart of the poetry, or the man. There is no mistaking his charisma, or his ability to turn the mood on a sixpence so that courtly formality suddenly gives way to either sardonic wit or a terrifying menace. But his English accent sometimes seemed strained and he has a tendency to bellow the often exquisitely lachrymose verse.”
Charles Spencer
