It’s been difficult for England.

The risks involved in the pursuit of magic are–put simply–either getting frightened by unpleasant perceptions or becoming deluded. Unfortunately it is possible to suffer from both symptoms at the same time.

When we first came out, there were a lot of people, especially in England, who wanted to fight us.

Pettiness often leads both to error and to the digging of a trap for oneself. Wondering (which I am sure he didn’t) ‘if by the 1990s [Hitchens] was morphing into someone I didn’t quite recognize”,...

I knew that Sundays in England aren’t just ordinary dull Sundays, the same the world over, which demand that one simply tiptoe through without disturbing them or paying them the least attention, they are vaster...

In England, there’s so much history that you feel a part of history even when you’re really not,

The team jokes that we’re a dynasty because they say if the New England Patriots won three out of four and they’re a dynasty, then so are we.

I never heard communism seriously propounded or argued; perhaps I was too deeply preoccupied with my own dissipations; and, as it turned out in the end it was a way of thought that I was...

As long as it makes Michael Owen happy then it is good news for England. Newcastle is a great club and he will get to play a lot.

The organist was almost at the end of the anthem’s long introduction, and as the crescendo increases the cathedral began to glitter before my eyes until I felt as if every stone in the building...

Fifteen feet away, the wide River Thames rolled past, dark and deep and mysterious is the sullen-not-quite sunrise.

Believe me I do understand and I am disgusted by the idea that we should aim for any less for a child from a poor background than a rich one.

In fact this is precisely the logic on which the Bank of England—the first successful modern central bank—was originally founded. In 1694, a consortium of English bankers made a loan of £1,200,000 to the king....

Donvel je bio poznat po jagodama, koje su bile izgovor za poziv; ali nikakav izgovor nije bio potreban; ovu damu bi i kupus namamio jer je samo želela da nekuda ide.

In Victorian England, people were told they should discourage their wives from reading because it would lead them into all sorts of devilish wickedness.

Know most of the rooms of thy native country before thou goest over the threshold thereof. Especially seeing England presents thee with so many observables.

England have obviously gone a different route because they have a tremendous physical team. With Wales we couldn’t do the same sort of thing so we reacted differently. I guess it was the input of...

Yet some men say in many parts of England that King Arthur is not dead, but had by the will of our Lord Jesu into another place; and men say that he shall come again,...

It’s the great masterwork of Anglo-Saxon England and everything else flows from that.

I love England and the historical aspect of it.

We achieved such a lot in England with the school dinners campaign. Could we do the same in the States? Absolutely.

England set some benchmarks during the Ashes series which we can all aspire to and hopefully improve on and one of those notions is support staff around the team and we have been discussing that…...

It has always struck me that one of the readiest ways of estimating a country’s regard for law is to notice what arms the officers of the law are carrying: in England it is little...

They’ve done well there, last time they beat Pakistan. England have shown this summer that they have got the personnel.

Ultimately, the purpose of magic is to free our potential, not bind us to ideas.

OxfordIt is well that there are palaces of peaceAnd discipline and dreaming and desire,Lest we forget our heritage and ceaseThe Spirit’s work—to hunger and aspire:Lest we forget that we were born divine,Now tangled in red...

Now, I have always wanted to agree with Lady Bracknell that there is no earthly use for the upper and lower classes unless they set each other a good example. But I shouldn’t pretend that...

From one till seven, when we moved to England, I spoke only Portuguese. But I can’t speak a word of it now.

I’m glad to be eating the bread of freedom even if it does taste like sponge buttered with greasy salt.

(New England) has a great group of guys and we’ve been successful. Also to have a little bit of personal success has been nice,

I’m over-industrious, so I don’t feel quite such a deviant in America as I did in England.

As long as you know ‘to let’ means to rent and not a place to pee, you’re all set to travel in the UK. The lifts and the boots and everything else don’t really matter.

The days draw out, the weather gets warmer, and it’s what we call summer, with a bitter laugh when we’ve said it.

She grew up in the ordinary paradise of the English countryside. When she was five she walked to school, two miles, across meadows covered with cowslips, buttercups, daisies, vetch, rimmed by hedges full of blossom...

I have almost completed a long novel, but it is unpublishable until my death and England’s.

Until a few years ago, it was never as popular over there as it was here. But by this point, it has been commercialized and is a pretty big celebration in Ireland and England.

Nowhere but in England are the papers so full of fascinating misbehaviour. There is always a scandal brewing, there is always a politician, village vicar or bank manager being pilloried, yet at the same time...

I was staying with some friends in England, and it was New Year’s. My husband, Roy, and I were sleeping, and I woke to the sound of our friend’s two little boys. They were going...

England had shown in the Ashes series against Australia that if you play five bowlers, you can win some very good matches.

It’s an element of the modern game that is under-used, but – as England also showed against Australia – if you’ve got a formidable set piece you have to use it.

If a good system of agriculture, unrivaled manufacturing skill, a capacity to produce whatever can contribute to either convenience or luxury, schools established in every village for teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic, the general practice...

This England attack doesn’t hurt as many batsmen as we used to, but they are hostile and they deserve to win the Ashes.

Isaac Newton was born at Woolsthorpe, near Grantham, in Lincolnshire, 1642: a weakly and diminutive infant, of whom it is related that, at his birth, he might have found room in a quart mug. He...

It’s going to be a great season for traditional textures and patterns — most of them from England and Scotland,

He was not only a bore; he bored for England.

I said I didn’t think it would be a collectivist state so much as a wilderness in which most people lived hand to mouth, and the rich would live like princes – better than the...

I had hoped to avoid Sweden. Here in England everyone is counting on a win, despite not having won against Sweden since 1968.

Newspapermen learn to call a murderer “an alleged murderer” and the King of England “the alleged King of England” to avoid libel suits.

I know this goes without saying, but Stonehenge really was the most incredible accomplishment. It took five hundred men just to pull each sarsen, plus a hundred more to dash around positioning the rollers. Just...

It was as easy as breathing to go and have tea near the place where Jane Austen had so wittily scribbled and so painfully died. One of the things that causes some critics to marvel...
