Famous quotes containing the words richard and/or bennett:

    I don’t know how you feel, professor, but I feel like a knife that’s just stabbed a friend in the back.
    Earl Felton, and Richard Fleischer. Ned Land (Kirk Douglas)

    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)
