7 QUOTES WITH «SKILFUL»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word skilful.
1
Alan Lewis
But then southern hemisphere teams are more skilful than their northern hemisphere counterparts, which means games can be easier to referee.
2
China Mieville
Well I don't feel sectarian against sparseness, although I sometimes get a little chippy about this. I resent the way that a certain notion of parsimony has become the norm for skilful literary writing.
3
Du Mu

4
Simon Schama

5
Peter Weir
