    Quotes by W. S. Gilbert

    • 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
