“Man...heats up like a lightbulb: red hot in the twinkling of an eye and cold again in a flash. The female, on the other hand...heats up like an iron. Slowly, over a low heat, like tasty stew. But then, once she has heated up, there's no stopping her.”
― Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind

Patricia Routledge, who is best known for playing social climbing snob, Hyacinth Bucket - or Bouquet - in Keeping Up Appearances, was made a Dame Commander of the British Empire in The Queen’s New Year’s Honours list.

"The Bouquet residence, the lady of the house speaking... No, you cannot have three of 22 and a portion of 19 with chips. This is not the Chinese takeaway. This is a private, slimline, pearl-white telephone with no oriental associations whatsoever..."

From brother where art thou:



Pete: Wait a minute. Who elected you leader of this outfit?

Ulysses Everett McGill: Well Pete, I figured it should be the one with the capacity for abstract thought. But if that ain't the consensus view, then hell, let's put it to a vote.

Pete: Suits me. I'm voting for yours truly.

Ulysses Everett McGill: Well I'm voting for yours truly too.

[Everett and Pete look at Delmar for the deciding vote]

Delmar O'Donnell: Okay... I'm with you fellas.

If thou remember'st not the slightest folly
That ever love did make thee run into,
Thou hast not lov'd.

Act II, scene 4, line 34. - As You Like It, William Shakespeare
