Quotes of the Week - May 8, 2012:
"I wasn't supportive of his partying or his relationship with another
girl." -- Dita Von Teese, burlesque artist, on why her marriage
to rock star, Marilyn Manson, ended.
"I love British men's sense of humor and the sense of chivalry
and charm. It is something that is innately part of the culture. It's
not the same in America." --Cameron Diaz, actress.
"I counted that there were six girls in total. That does not seem
to me to be a considerable number. Numerous young women with whom I've
had sexual exchanges had the same age difference. Swinging sexual parties
are about having free and consentual sex." -- Dominique Strauss-Kahn,
former IMF chief, denying that young women only had sex with him for
money.

London: a place you go to get bronchitis.
Fran Lebowitz
London is sentimental and tolerant. The attitude to foreigners
is like the attitude to dogs: Dogs are neither human nor British,
but so long as you keep them under control, give them their
exercise, feed them, pat them, you will find their wild emotions
are amusing, and their characters interesting.
V. S. Pritchett
I'm leaving because the weather is too good. I hate London
when it's not raining.
Groucho Marx
You find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave
London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired
of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.
Samuel Johnson
London, that great cesspool into which all the loungers of
the Empire are irresistibly drained.
Arthur Conan Doyle
A Study in Scarlet.
I’m sick of fog and yellow gloom,
Of faces strange, and alien eyes,
Your London is a vault, a tomb,
To those born ’neath Australian skies.
O land of gold and burning blue, 5
I’m crying like a child for you!
Dorothy Frances McCrae
Homesick.
When it’s three o’clock in New York, it’s
still 1938 in London.
Bette Midler
Hell is a city much like London --
A populous and a smoky city;
There are all sorts of people undone,
And there is little or no fun done.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Peter Bell the Third.
And now farewell to London, dirty little pool of life.
B.M. Malabari
The Indian Eye on English Life.
A man who can dominate a London dinner table can dominate
the world. The future belongs to the dandy. It is the exquisites
who are going to rule.
Oscar Wilde
A Woman of No Importance.
In London they don't like you if you're still alive.
Harvey Fierstein
There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
And the vermin of the world inhabit it
And its morals aren't worth what a pig could spit
And it goes by the name of London.
Stephen Sondheim
Sweeney Todd.
Oh, I love London Society! It is entirely composed now of
beautiful idiots and brilliant lunatics. Just what Society
should be.
Oscar Wilde
An Ideal Husband.
A person who is tired of London is not necessarily tired of
life; it might be that he just can’t find a parking place.
Paul Theroux
Sunrise with Seamonsters.
This melancholy London – I sometimes imagine that the
souls of the lost are compelled to walk through its streets
perpetually. One feels them passing like a whiff of air.
W. B. Yeats
Forasmuch as there is great noise in the city caused by hustling
over large balls, from which many evils may arise, which God
forbid, we command and forbid on behalf of the king, on pain
of imprisonment, such game to be used in the city in future.
King Edward II
In royal proclamation banning football
from the streets of London, 1314.
The truth is, that in London it is always a sickly season.
Nobody is healthy in London, nobody can be.
Jane Austin
Emma.
It is my belief, Watson, founded upon my experience, that
the lowest and vilest alleys of London do not present a more
dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful
countryside.
Arthur Conan Doyle
The Copper Beeches, The Adventures of Sherlock
Holmes.
Go to London. I guarantee you’ll either be mugged or
not appreciated. Catch the train to London, stopping at Rejection,
Disappointment, Backstabbing Central and Shattered Dreams
Parkway.
Alan Partridge
I'm Alan Partridge.
It was a Sunday afternoon, wet and cheerless; and a duller
spectacle this earth of ours has not to show than a rainy
Sunday in London.
Thomas De Quincey
Confessions of an English Opium-Eater.
Can’t make out how you stand London Society. The thing
has gone to the dogs, a lot of damned nobodies talking about
nothing.
Oscar Wilde
An Ideal Husband.
London is a splendid place to live for those who can get
out of it.
Lord Balfour of Burleigh
Thirty-five is a very attractive age. London society is full
of women of the very highest birth who have, of their own
free choice, remained thirty-five for years.
Oscar Wilde
The Importance of Being Earnest.
London is a roost for every bird.
Benjamin Disraeli
The amount of women in London who flirt with their own husbands
is perfectly scandalous. It looks so bad. It is simply washing
one’s clean linen in public.
Oscar Wilde
The Importance of Being Earnest.
I don’t know what London’s coming to – the
higher the buildings the lower the morals.
Noël Coward
London is full of women who trust their husbands. One can
always recognize them. They look so thoroughly unhappy.
Oscar Wilde
Lady Windermere’s Fan.
Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner,
That I love London so;
Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner,
That I think of her wherever I go.
I get a funny feeling inside of me,
Just walking up and down;
Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner,
That I love London town.
