Quotes

Do you know, Harding, you have great gifts, you could really go places. But you have this underlying obstinate attitude.

Headmaster's comment

George Whitfield, Headmaster of Hampton Grammar School, in 1968

I have a theory that the best songs can be played on an out of tune piano.

Ray Davies

Songwriter and musician

The Sunne may set and rise
But we contrariwise
Sleepe after the short light
One everlasting night.
(After Thomas Campion and Catullus 5)

Walter Raleigh

Adventurer, courtier and poet

Well, I can't help the shape I'm in,
Ain't pretty, can't sing and my legs are thin.
But don't ask me what I think of you -
Might not give the answer that you want me to.
Oh well.

Peter Green
