Return

Famous quotes containing the word return:

—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

“The return of my birthday, if I remember it, fills me with thoughts which it seems to be the general care of humanity to escape.”

“I hate that word. It’s return—a return to the millions of people who’ve never forgiven me for deserting the screen.”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
