Monday Movie Quote: The Englishman Who Went up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain


Rather short one today, m'dears, from The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain, a very quirky and strange but quite adorable and delightful movie.

Grandfather: "All this fuss over what? Is it a hill, is it a mountain? Perhaps it wouldn't matter anywhere else, but this is Wales. The Egyptians built pyramids, the Greeks built temples, but we did none of that, because we had mountains. Yes, the Welsh were created by mountains: where the mountain starts, there starts Wales. If this isn't a mountain- well, if this isn't a mountain, then Anson might just as well redraw the border and put us all in England, God forbid."


Very Truly Yours,
