“In 1952, I had gone to England on a literary pilgrimage, but what I also saw, even at that distance from the blitz, were bombed-out ruins and an enervated society, while the continent was still, psychologically, in the grip of its recent atrocities.” StillsGoneSawsEnglandDistanceRuinsContinentsAtrocitiesPilgrimageBlitz Author:Cynthia Ozick

“I don't recall a show I've ever been on that had the same director do two episodes in a row, but in England, they do it all the time. In England, they'll just have one director for eight episodes. That was the British system that Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner wanted to bring to the States. I think there was a nice merger of the two systems. They might have gone with one director, but John had obligations on The Village, and he had to leave and come back, so it seemed like a natural place to break it up.” ThinkingTwoStatesShowsMightWantedNaturalBreakGoneNiceDirectorsEnglandEightBritishObligationVillageEpisodesRecallsJaneMergers Author:Glen Morgan

“God save the Queen and a fascist regime … a flabby toothless fascism, to be sure. Never go too far in any direction, is the basic law on which Limey-Land is built. The Queen stabilizes the whole sinking shithouse and keeps a small elite of wealth and privilege on top. The English have gone soft in the outhouse. England is like some stricken beast too stupid to know it is dead.

“I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.” IfsWholeNaturalEducationClassGoneViolenceModernEffectsDangerProduceIgnoranceSeriousTheoryProveImportanceEnglandFruitRateSquaresDelicateEarnestExoticUpper ClassActs Of ViolenceImportance Of Being EarnestModern Education Author:Oscar Wilde
