Famous quotes containing the words gordon, bennett and/or cup:
“Without, or with, offence to friends or foes,
I sketch your world exactly as it goes.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“He said “Next time can I bring my friend?”
And I thought “Does he mean friend?”
And I thought “Yes he does mean friend.”
Which was quite bold in those days.
It was the Dark Ages. Men and men.
And they could still put you in prison for it.
And did, dear.”
—Alan Bennett (b. 1934)
“I know it does make people happy, but to me it is just like having a cup of tea.”
—Cynthia Paine (b. 1934)
