Noel Coward Quote:

[MrScorpio]

"I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me."

Noel Gallagher Quote:

"Sure I love Liam - but not as much as I love Pot Noodles."

We've come such a long way in a short time. Don't you think?

[Rowdyboy]

1. "Success took me to her bosom like a maternal boa constrictor"

[Purrfessor]

2. I don't recall his name, but a critic

who was consistently hard on Coward committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. Upon being told that the man had blown his brains out, Coward remarked, "He must've been a marvelously good shot."

[Rowdyboy]

3. "He's completely unspoiled by failure!" or maybe

"Wit ought to be a glorious treat like caviar; never spread it about like marmalade".

Surely there is another Coward afficianado awake, somewhere....He deserves better than this.

[MrScorpio]

4. One more

"People are wrong when they say that the opera isn't what it used to be. It is what it used to be. That's what's wrong with it."

[Rowdyboy]

5. "Trust your instincts...If you have no instincts, trust your impulses!"

[Norbert]

6. "Nothing succeeds like excess"

This only one I can come up with.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. "Extraordinary how potent cheap music is." n/t

[GCP]

8. This was heard during the coronation procession for QE II

Queen Salote of Tonga, a huge 6 ft tall husky woman was sitting in her carriage with a small man next to her.

Coward's companion asked who the man was, Coward, without hesitation, drawled,
"Her lunch".
