Norman Stone quotes British academic, historian Born: 03/08/1941 Country: united_kingdom

• fair to say that Tolkien and Lewis influenced each other as writers. I have made this new film because I wanted to tell the whole story of Lewis's life and I feel Lord of the Rings has created a new audience which will appreciate Lewis's work too. (Norman Stone)
• Tolkien thought there were too many elements that clashed: a Father Christmas and an evil witch, talking animals and children. He did not like allegory and thought Lewis's book was too pushy in a Christian sense. (Norman Stone)
• Some people may see it as trading insults (Norman Stone)
• It's not as bad as it seems. His head's big as a Volkswagen . Johnny can't miss that head. (Norman Stone)
• If I knew that we never would have come over here. (Norman Stone)
• You can't win in Germany unless you knock them out. (Norman Stone)
• Back in America, you hear this sort of stuff -- if you don't knock out a guy in Germany, you get robbed. It was an awful, awful decision. (Norman Stone)
• What's the problem? Everybody says that when they come over here. What's the problem? (Norman Stone)
• I'm done. I'm tired of boxing and last week's bad decision was the last straw. I'm sorry if my actions sometimes upset people. (Norman Stone)
