England Quotes

What has gone catastrophically wrong in England and the States is that for 30 years we’ve lost the ability to talk about the state in positive terms. We’ve raised a generation or two of young people who don’t think to ask, ‘What can the state do that is good?’ Picture Quote #1

The Football Association have always acted more as a referee than a governor. And the FA, aware the Premier League provide players for the England team, have always had too gentle a hand on the tiller. The result is that the Premier League are the tigers in the English football jungle everybody’s scared of Picture Quote #1

Thomas Young was born in 1731 in upstate New York. The child of impoverished Irish immigrants, he grew up in a log cabin without the benefit of a formal education. But he was an avid reader who began collecting books at a young age and eventually amassed one of the finest personal libraries in New England Picture Quote #1

The media in the States can be quite self-reflective. When I lived in England, I was much more aware of the day-to-day politics that were happening. Living somewhere where the media involvement is greater and so omnipresent, you become pulled into it and, at the same time, because of that, politics changes and the way it’s handled changes Picture Quote #1

England is the first country that I’ve had a no. 1 album in, so it is now officially my home away from home Picture Quote #1

I like England more than I did when I left. It’s become a bit of a better country in the last ten years, in the attitude of it. A bit more Americanized, which is both good and bad. At least when you order a cup of coffee they don’t give you a hard time Picture Quote #1

According to the Bank of England the economy is growing too fast so interest rates must rise to counter the supposed inflationary threat Picture Quote #1

We think it would be safer if the Bank of England had responsibility for solvency regulation of UK-based banks, as well as having an overall duty to keep the system solvent. Otherwise, there could be dangerous delays if a banking crisis did hit Picture Quote #1

I had already been a young singer. And once, as a profession, I was a young singer, what you would call a soprano in England, but I was an alto in singing Jewish music in bar mitzvahs and weddings and synagogues throughout New York City because, after Israel, New York is probably the biggest Jewish community in the world Picture Quote #1

If you go out on the Appalachian Trail, you have to bring so much more equipment - a tent, sleeping bag - but if you go hiking in England, or Europe, generally, towns and villages are near enough together at the end of the day you can always go to a nice little inn and have a hot bath and something to drink Picture Quote #1

When we’ve been bold on the Bank of England, on PFI, on great constitutional change, on the New Deal, we’ve been most successful. So what we have to continue to try and do is to battle with ideas and find new ways of applying those values as the world changes Picture Quote #1

The Stately Homes of England, How beautiful they stand, To prove the Upper Classes, Have still the Upper Hand Picture Quote #1

I loved England’s gentility and its civility. I’m from the Bronx, with a Bronx accent. I love the beauty of its language, the ways it’s spoken. I love the green grass of England and the flowers Picture Quote #1

Often, the roles I’m offered in England are melancholic women who are filled with regret for the past, regret for their fading beauty Picture Quote #1

Money plays an important role in football, but it is not the dominating factor. When Chelsea play a Carling Cup game in a small city, and it could result in a draw - the excitement, the spirit, the atmosphere - that’s the real beauty of football in England Picture Quote #1

I was fascinated by the culture clash between England and America in the 1950s. My first memories are of being a girl in those post-war years when things were really pretty grim. It wasn’t like that in America, which was real boom time Picture Quote #1
