W. S. Gilbert
English librettist & writer of comic operettas
| “ | If you wish in this world to advance, your merits you're bound to enhance; You must stir it and stump it, and blow your own trumpet, or trust me, you haven't a chance. | ” |
| “ | Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative. | ” |
| “ | No one can have a higher opinion of him than I have, and I think he's a dirty little beast. | ” |
| “ | Things are seldom what they seem, skim milk masquerades as cream. | ” |
| “ | When everyone is somebody, then no one's anybody. | ” |
| “ | My object all sublime I shall achieve in time...
The Mikado, 1885 | ” |
