England Beat

Famous quotes containing the words england and/or beat:

    The real tragedy of England, as I see it, is the tragedy of ugliness. The country is so lovely: the man-made England is so vile.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    There’s no nation under the sun can beat the English for ill-politeness: for my part, I hate the very sight of them; and so I shall only just visit a person of quality or two of my particular acquaintance, and then I shall go back again to France.
    Frances Burney (1752–1840)
