Famous quotes containing the words courtesy and/or title:

    I have very poor and unhappy brains for drinking. I could well wish courtesy would invent some other custom of entertainment.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Greatness is a light-hearted title for theatrical entertainments. Or a definition endowed on men too long dead to know that it’s been awarded.
    Arthur Ross. Leslie (Tony Curtis)
