James Gordon Bennett

Famous quotes containing the words james, gordon and/or bennett:

    So far as I am concerned, dear, I promise you that very soon I’ll settle down again and write another long three-volume novel, suitable for the most genteel of young women.
    —Jan Read. Robert Day. James Rankin (Boris Karloff)

    Reviews and magazines are at best ephemeral & superficial reading. Who thinks of the grand article of last year in any given review?
    —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)
