Burton Played

Famous quotes containing the words burton and/or played:

    Richard Burton is now my epitaph, my cross, my title, my image. I have achieved a kind of diabolical fame. It has nothing to do with my talents as an actor. That counts for little now. I am the diabolically famous Richard Burton.
    —Richard Burton (1925–1984)

    I seem, in most of these verses, to have but placed a harp in a window, and noted the contrasted airs which wayward winds have played upon the strings.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
