I welcome him like I welcome cold sores. He's from England, he's angry and he's got Mad Power Disease.
Paula Abdul, American Musician (1962-  )
I was sent to a nice Church of England girls' school and at that time, after university, a woman was expected to become a teacher, a nurse or a missionary - prior to marriage.
Kate Adie, British Journalist (1945-  )
American troops have not only occupied Ulster but are arriving in increasing numbers in England.
John Amery, British Politician (1912-1945)
It came as a great shock to me when I heard that England and Soviet Russia had become allies. So much so that I thought that the people responsible in London were acting in a manner that no longer coincided with British imperial interests.
John Amery, British Politician (1912-1945)
The New England conscience does not stop you from doing what you shouldn't-it just stops you from enjoying it.
Cleveland Amory, American Historian (1917-1998)
The situation in America is when it starts moving there, all the bands from England move over to America and work from there, so that they're available all the time for everyone that wants them in person.
Benny Anderson, -
I feel I have had a very interesting life, but I am rather hoping there is still more to come. I still haven't captained the England cricket team, or sung at Carnegie Hall!

You know there are no secrets in America. It's quite different in England, where people think of a secret as a shared relation between two people.
W. H. Auden, English Poet (1907-1973)
It's frightening how easy it is to commit murder in America. Just a drink too much. I can see myself doing it. In England, one feels all the social restraints holding one back. But here, anything can happen.
W. H. Auden, English Poet (1907-1973)
England is so defined, the class system, your education. I think what was unique about the Canterbury scene.
Kevin Ayers, English Composer (1944-  )
People in England were coming up to me, saying, My mother and father turned me on to your music. This happened to me 20 years ago. When I was 40 they were saying that.
Roy Ayers, English Musician (1940-  )
That science has long been neglected and declining in England, is not an opinion originating with me, but is shared by many, and has been expressed by higher authority than mine.
Charles Babbage, English Mathematician (1792-1871)
It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that some portion of the neglect of science in England, may be attributed to the system of education we pursue.
Charles Babbage, English Mathematician (1792-1871)
In England, the profession of the law is that which seems to hold out the strongest attraction to talent, from the circumstance, that in it ability, coupled with exertion, even though unaided by patronage, cannot fail of obtaining reward.
Charles Babbage, English Mathematician (1792-1871)
The sea from Dunkirk to Dover during these days of the evacuation looked like any coastal road in England on a bank holiday. It was solid with shipping.
Douglas Bader, British Soldier (1910-1982)
Since the day of the air, the old frontiers are gone. When you think of the defense of England you no longer think of the chalk cliffs of Dover; you think of the Rhine.
Stanley Baldwin, English Statesman (1867-1947)
I mean the interesting thing I think would be if something happened like, what happened in England where all these kids that all of a sudden can't afford the ticket prices.

Here in England we live at a slower pace, have more time to enjoy things - like good jazz.
Chris Barber, English Musician (1930-  )
I was really small when jazz broke through in England and I can still remember sneaking off to the living room to listen to it on the radio - much to my parent's disapproval.
Jeff Beck, British Musician (1944-  )
