Famous quotes containing the words earls and/or crawford:

    “If the Christ were content with humble toilers for disciples, that wasn’t good enough for our Bert. He wanted dukes’ half sisters and belted earls wiping his feet with their hair; grand apotheosis of the snob, to humiliate the objects of his own awe by making them venerate him.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    “[Asked by an interviewer, “What do YOU want to be?”]: What people want me to be.”
    —Joan Crawford (1908–1977)
