Famous quotes containing the words alexander and/or sir:
“I thought when I was a young man that I would conquer the world with truth. I thought I would lead an army greater than Alexander ever dreamed of. Not to conquer nations, but to liberate mankind. With truth. With the golden sound of the Word. But only a few of them heard. Only a few of you understood. The rest of you put on black and sat in chapel.”
—Philip Dunne (1908–1992)
“Television thrives on unreason, and unreason thrives on television. It strikes at the emotions rather than the intellect.”
—Robin, Sir Day (b. 1915)
