Napoleon the Third was not much. He died in England, and was buried in a country church-yard much the same as Kiltartan. But Napoleon the First was a great man; it was given out of him there never would be so great a man again Picture Quote #1

Romney Marsh remains one of the last great wildernesses of south-east England. Flat as a desert, and at times just as daunting, it is an odd, occasionally eerie wetland straddling the coastal borders of Kent and Sussex, rich in birds, local folklore and solitary medieval churches Picture Quote #1

Nepotism is despised in England, which is a very good thing. I think something to do with the class system. People really look down on nepotism. So yeah, it never really works in your favor - even in this industry Picture Quote #1

You know who has tenure? The pope has tenure. The Queen of England has tenure. So does Fidel and the communists - because they represent the people, of course (scoff). Federal judges have tenure as well - no federal judge has ever successfully been removed. And then there’s the college professors. Me. How do you like that? Picture Quote #1

There is always that age-old thing about England and America being divided by a common language. You think that because we speak English and you speak English that you’re bound to understand and like everything that we do. And of course you don’t Picture Quote #1

No one familiar with the common law of England can read the Constitution of the United States without observing the great desire of the Convention which framed that instrument to make it conform as far as possible with that law Picture Quote #1

I was a mixture of a country boy and a town boy, really. Chichester is a town on the coast of England, and I grew up all along that strip of coast that Chichester branches out into. Sometimes I was living in a house in the country, and sometimes I was living in a town Picture Quote #1

I’ve stayed in houses that were in the country, and in England, but I’m still not sure that I’ve stayed in an English country house Picture Quote #1

I really like England. I like the lifestyle and the country. The history. The culture, which London is full of. The country pursuits Picture Quote #1

I only really woke up in India. It was my first experience of plenty, strangely enough, because everything in England was rationed. I loved sweets, but you couldn’t get them; then there was this marvelous mitthai - I went crazy Picture Quote #1

Growing up in Malaysia and England, there wasn’t an obvious route into the comics world, so my creative energy went into theatre and prose and then movies and TV Picture Quote #1

I’m sold as a literary writer in Holland; I’m sold as crime fiction in England. I think of it as just literature Picture Quote #1

For some time, Scotland’s greatest exports to England have included whisky and Scottish MPs. Or, in the case of Charles Kennedy, both.

I doubt it Picture Quote #1

When I graduated from high school, I made the decision to pursue my dance training in London, England. I was so scared at first, not knowing if this little girl from small town Canada could possibly make it with these highly trained London dancers Picture Quote #1

England and Denmark have a sense of irony and a darker sense of humour that you don’t necessarily find in Germany and Sweden Picture Quote #1

There’s a lot to love about America - freedom, the melting pot of diversity, individualism - all attractive concepts, especially to an introvert.

The aura of the theocratic death penalty for adultery still clings to America, even outside New England, and multiple divorce, which looks to the European like serial polygamy, is the moral solution to the problem of the itch Picture Quote #1

The working classes in England were always sentimental, and the Irish and Scots and Welsh. The upper-class English are the stiff-upper-lipped ones. And the middle class. They’re the ones who are crippled emotionally because they can’t move up, and they’re desperate not to move down Picture Quote #1

My goals in Holland were known as ‘stiffies’, which means something quite different in England of course Picture Quote #1

There was still food rationing in England and life was difficult all through my 2 year stay in Oxford Picture Quote #1
