Schottland / Scotland Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Schottland / Scotland:

My mother's background was Scottish. She came from an old family, some of whom lived in upper New York State and some of whom had come over from Scotland. Alan Hovhaness

It's different in Scotland. People who come to readings are more interested in literature as such, but the readership in general is really quite diverse. It's a cliche, but it's said that people who read my books don't read any other books, and you do get that element.

Irvine Welsh

I won't tell anyone where my favourite place in Scotland is... but it might be somewhere on Skye.

Sam Heughan

I look upon Switzerland as an inferior sort of Scotland.

Sydney Smith

If the Scottish people decide to opt for independence, it would not be a good idea for Scotland to maintain a very rigid link to the pound.

Mohamed El-Erian

I've actually traveled quite a bit with various authors. Judith Miller and I toured the highlands in Scotland with Liz Curtis Higgs, and that was incredible fun. However, I love going with my husband, who - although he is not a writer per se, he is a historian and can give me a lot of insight on various historical locations.

Tracie Peterson

But I fear, my lot being cast in Scotland, that beauty would not be content.

Anne Boyd

There are two seasons in Scotland: June and Winter.

Billy Connolly

I'd imagine if there were more Scottish people making Scottish movies about Scotland, it would not only be educational, but it would instill a sense of pride.

Henry Ian Cusick

If Scotland and America go to war, I'm afraid I've already sworn in.

Craig Ferguson

James's expedition to Scotland is wholly imaginary, though there appears to have been space for it during Henry's progress to the North to pay his devotions at Beverley Minster.

Charlotte Mary Yonge

In Scotland, beautiful as it is, it was always raining. Even when it wasn't raining, it was about to rain, or had just rained. It's a very angry sky.

Colin Hay

In 2003 Scotland had 36 new business registrations per 10,000 adults. It's still the same.

Tom Hunter

The natural barriers between England and Scotland were not sufficient to prevent the extension of the Saxon settlements and kingdoms across the border.

Goldwin Smith

It is time we in Scotland put England in its proper place and instead of our leaning on England and taking inspiration from her, we should lean and turn to Europe, for it is there our future prosperity lies.

Hugh MacDiarmid

With '44 Scotland Street' I found myself having to work out how a daily novel works, and it is completely different to a conventional novel.

Alexander McCall Smith

Everything I have done or attempted to do for Scotland has always been for her benefit, never my own and I defy anyone to prove otherwise.

Sean Connery

I was writing 'Outlander' for practise and didn't want anyone to know I was doing it. So I couldn't very well announce to my husband that I was quitting my job and abandoning him with three small children to visit Scotland to do research for a novel that I hadn't told him I was writing.

Diana Gabaldon

Without the shepherd's dog, the whole of the open mountainous land in Scotland would not be worth a sixpence.

James Hogg

The thing which grieves and oppresses my heart with respect to poor Scotland, is the hardness of heart manifest in the levity and cruelty with which they speak of others.

Edward Irving

I attempted to fish in Scotland and I managed to hook a dog. It was a horrible moment but the dog turned out to be fine.

Emily Blunt

People in Scotland don't take too kindly to being lectured by a Tory Chancellor.

Nicola Sturgeon

Social injustice is what puts Scotland at its greatest disadvantage, and restoring the 50p tax rate will start to fight that.

Johann Lamont

I'm definitely looking forward to DJing in Scotland again. There's always fun and a great party vibe.

Little Louie Vega

If you make a film about a pig farmer in Wales and you are a huge hit as the pig farmer's wife, the next thing is you'll be asked to do a film about a sheep farmer in Scotland.

Kristin Scott Thomas

I just read an 800-page history of the Scottish Enlightenment and, honestly, I may as well just start it again now, because I cannot remember a single thing. I can barely remember where Scotland is.

Hugh Laurie

My point is there's a hidden Scotland in anyone who speaks the Northern Ireland speech. It's a terrific complicating factor, not just in Northern Ireland, but Ireland generally.

Seamus Heaney

It's very interesting to me that the nationalist movement in Scotland has become so positive and self-reflective rather than anti-English. The referendum in 2014 was peaceful, for all its deeply and passionately divided people.

Sarah Hall

A couple of taxi drivers have asked me if we can survive financially as an independent nation. I say, how come we are more stupid than Denmark or Finland or Sweden? They've all got the same amount of people. Are we all going to down tools? Is everybody in Scotland going to stop working?

Eddi Reader

To involve young people and make sure that the system is more relevant to them in Scotland, we have a clear obligation to implement a policy of home rule.

Charles Kennedy

I was brought up west southwest coast of Scotland and my mother and father had a music shop, and so I was surrounded by pianos and drums and guitars, and music, of course.

Colin Hay

I am attached to the west coast of Scotland - it's gorgeous to look at and challenging. You have to contend with the possibility of being blown away or rained on. And in the summer months you can be eaten alive by midges.

Clive Anderson

I have planted over 6,000 trees at home in Scotland, some of them oak. I'd like my children to be able to watch them grow.

Rory Stewart

Nothing is forever, and I do still talk about when I'll come back to Britain. I'd love to come back and do a nice big juicy period drama. I don't understand it when people suddenly turn their back on Britain or Scotland. I'm so aware of it, and it's so much a part of who I am.

Ashley Jensen

I spent the first 16 years of my life in Scotland. My whole family is there. It's in my blood and informs my sense of humour, my point of view, the people I choose to spend time with, everything.

Gayle Rankin

I want to change Scotland, but the only way we can change Scotland is by changing the Scottish Labour Party.

Johann Lamont

I come more to Scotland than I ever used to, so I feel more connected to it, more part of the zeitgeist. You know when you realize you have a choice and I'm choosing my homeland. It's funny: when you get older these things creep up to you.

Alan Cumming
