Famous quotes containing the words subterranean, rivers and/or london:

    So this is the subterranean life.

    To outlast us, and no dialect hears us?
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Thank God we’re living in a country where the sky’s the limit, the stores are open late and you can shop in bed thanks to television.
    —Joan Rivers (b. 1935)

    An actor who knows his business ought to be able to make the London telephone directory sound enthralling.
    Donald Sinden (b. 1923)
