Old English Quotes

The word coach comes from the old English word coach, which was a vehicle, a carriage that took royalty or very important people from where they were to where they wanted to go. That’s really what a coach is. He or she tries to create a vehicle that will help you get where you’re going, not where the coach wants you to go Picture Quote #1

I get some heat for what English people call ‘overproduction.’ I don’t think my older stuff was overproduced, but I do think that sound has dated Picture Quote #1

I’m an old English major from way back, so I do have fun tearing apart texts and trying to find the hidden secrets and the subtexts in there Picture Quote #1

I’d love to have been in things like ‘The Jewel in the Crown,’ but of course they’re terribly old English. I can do that. But I’m not that Picture Quote #1

There is always that age-old thing about England and America being divided by a common language. You think that because we speak English and you speak English that you’re bound to understand and like everything that we do. And of course you don’t Picture Quote #1

We are always giving foreign names to very native things. If there is a thing that reeks of the glorious tradition of the old English tavern, it is toasted cheese. But for some wild reason we call it Welsh rarebit. I believe that what we call Irish stew might more properly be called English stew, and that it is not particularly familiar in Ireland Picture Quote #1

I fell even more deeply in love with Tolkiens legendarium after studying Old English literature at uni, as I got a sense of the historical events and cultures that Tolkien used to create his world. My favourite of his imaginary locations is Lothlorien Picture Quote #1

What Rob Brezsny does with words is grammarye, the Old English term for magic. With his strange brew of macho feminism and poetic rationalism, Brezsny weaves a yarn crazy enough to be true and real enough to subvert the literalist virus of cynicism now immobilizing the collective mindscape Picture Quote #1

I’m very sensitive to the English language. I studied the dictionary obsessively when I was a kid and collect old dictionaries. Words, I think, are very powerful and they convey an intention Picture Quote #1

When the student has her voice under complete control, it is safe to take up the lyric repertoire of Mendelssohn, Old English Songs, etc. How simple and charming they are! Picture Quote #1

I studied English literature in the honors program, which means that you had to take courses in various centuries. You had to start with Old English, Middle English, and work your way toward the modern.

I played from the time I was seven years old. My father was my first baseman coach. I had opportunities that I never really pursued - with some Miami teams and a few larger colleges, and then I ended up bailing and began cooking Picture Quote #1

I call it an old-fashioned seafood house for the new millennium. We are trying to update what we know as old fish houses and places like that, which are great, but I want to give it a new, fresh look with updated versions of the classics we all love Picture Quote #1

My favorite pudding is good old English apple pie Picture Quote #1

It was a somber place, haunted by old jokes and lost laughter. Life, as I discovered, holds no more wretched occupation than trying to make the English laugh Picture Quote #1

It’s funny how a film about a murderous old English toff can help you Picture Quote #1

My old English buddy, John Rackham, wrote and told me what made science fiction different from all other kinds of literature - science fiction is written according to the science fiction method Picture Quote #1

I do tend to be an analyzer. I’m an old English major from way back, so I do have fun tearing apart texts and trying to find the hidden secrets and the subtexts in there Picture Quote #1
