“I didn't go to the lectures. My valet, who was more distinguished than I, went instead.”
Witold Gombrowicz
“In short, he was a perfect cavalier, / And to his very valet seemed a hero.”
Lord Byron
“He was a hero to his valet, who bullied him, and a terror to most of his relations, whom he bullied in turn. Only England could have produced him, and he always said that the country was going to the dogs. His principles were out of date, but there was a good deal to be said for his prejudices.”
Oscar Wilde
“[Snack (between races, 12:45-4:30 p.m.) Snickers bar and a Gatorade (466 calories).] My valet keeps candy for me, ... It gives me a buzz. I love grape Gatorade. I may drink three 32-ounce bottles in a day. I'm not a big water person, never have been.”
Jeremy Rose
“Instead of lecturing, I like to basically have them ask me questions, and I'll answer anything they want to know. Like what's the basic play of hockey? What's the object of the game? It's to create a two-on-one on the ice.”
Chuck Kaiton
“Dictatorship is a constant lecture instructing you that your feelings, your thoughts and desires are of no account, that you are a nobody and must live as you are told by other people who desire and think for you”
Stephen Vizinczey
“How I want a drink, alcoholic of course, after the heavy lectures involving quantum mechanics!”
Isaac Asimov
