Harrison Quotes

Not only will I not play it, but if Rex Harrison doesn't do it, I won't even go to see it.

—Grant, Cary pseudonym of  Archibald Leach

I went out to Charing Cross to see Major-General Harrison hanged, drawn and quarteredöwhich was done thereöhe looking as cheerfully as any man could do in that condition† Thus it was my chance to see the King beheaded at Whitehall and to see the first blood shed in revenge for the blood of the King at Charing Cross.

—Pepys, Samuel
