Gilbert Wrote

Famous quotes containing the words gilbert and/or wrote:

    I shall carry to the Catacombs of Age,
    Photographically lined
    On the tablet of my mind,
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    You remind me of a child-friend who once wrote to tell me about her sister being married. “Now I will tell you all about Bessie’s wedding.” Then came a long account of bridesmaids, and breakfast, and everything else, except the name of the bride-groom! That of course didn’t matter: the great thing was to get married somehow.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
