More quotes by Noel Coward
The theatre should be treated with respect. The theatre is a wonderful place, a house of strange enchantment, a temple of illusion. What it most emphatically is not and never will be is a scruffy, ill-lit, fumed-oak drill hall serving as a temporary soap box for political propaganda.
Noel Coward

Noel Coward

Noel Coward

Noel Coward
Never mind, dear, we're all made the same, though some more than others.
Noel Coward
Comedies of manners swiftly become obsolete when there are no longer any manners.
Noel Coward
How was your flight? Well, aeronautically it was a great success. Socially, it left quite a bit to be desired.
Noel Coward
There are bad times just around the corner, There are dark clouds travelling through the sky, And it's no good whining, About a silver lining, For we know from experience they won't roll by...
Noel Coward
Passion in a dromedary doesn't go so deep a camel when it's mating never sobs itself to sleep.
Noel Coward
Criticism and Bolshevism have one thing in common. They both seek to pull down that which they could never build.
Noel Coward
He must have been an incredibly good shot.
Noel Coward
