I've become President of the Author's Guild, and, in part because they thought I had to know what I was talking about and also as a sort of coronation present, they got me an iPad. And I have to tell you, I'm crazy about it. It's got some bugs, but it's basically replaced my laptop. I'm very happy with it.

In the order of literature, as in others, there is no act that is not the coronation of an infinite series of causes and the source of an infinite series of effects.

Coronation Street' in my opinion is based on strong, feisty women and downtrodden men - that's what the show has always been about.

I think you can't have the monarchy without the coronation. I think you would have to get rid of the whole kit and caboodle.

Norman Braman

I don't believe in dynasties; I don't believe in coronations. That is not how it works in this country.

Creative genius is a divinely bestowed gift which is the coronation of the few.
