Sherwood

Famous quotes containing the word sherwood:

    I remember when I was younger, there was a well-known writer who used to dart down the back way whenever saw me coming. I suppose he was in love with me and wasn’t quite sure of himself. Well, c’est la vie!
    —Robert E. Sherwood (1896–1955)

    I was so sick and faint, so overcome at the brutality of this fiendish sport, that I hardly heard the shouts of “Bravo! bravo!” and the fanfaronade of trumpets.... I do not know which astonished me the most, the strikingly curious, brilliant coup d’oeil, the dexterity of the men, the intrepidity of the animals, the miserable unfair play, or the pleasure of the spectators.
    —M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

    The main trouble [with this country] is there are too many people who don’t know where they’re going and they want to get there too fast.
    —Robert E. Sherwood (1896–1955)
