8 QUOTES WITH «HARRY»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word harry.
1
Elliott Abrams
Harry Truman, who was a Bible-believing Christian Zionist, defied the secretary of state he so admired, George C. Marshall, and won a place in Israel's history by recognizing the new state 11 minutes after it declared its independence in 1948.
2
A. Whitney Brown

3
Lance Burton
Harry Collins was the first magician I ever saw back in 1965 when I was five years old. He was doing a magic show and I was the volunteer from the audience.
4
Trevor Dunn
Harry Patch didn't get enough recognition. Jerry Garcia got too much.
5
Ira Glass
Harry Potter to me is a bore. His talent arrives as a gift; he's chosen. Who can identify with that? But Hermione - she's working harder than anyone, she's half outsider, right? Half Muggle. She shouldn't be there at all. It's so unfair that Harry's the star of the books, given how hard she worked to get her powers.
6
Kim Novak
Harry Cohn did not make me. But I also feel that I probably didn't make me, either. I think it was a combination. I think that's what made it work.
7
Michael O'Brien
Harry Potter represents a much larger wave of cultural revolution that we're all immersed in, and I believe it's a spiritual revolution as well - a negative spiritual revolution.

Ed Sheeran
Harry Potter is awesome.
