Even modern English people are imperious, superior, ridden by class. All of the hypocrisy and the difficulties that are endemic in being British also make it an incredibly fertile place culturally. A brilliant place to live. Sad but true.
Pete Townshend
Few of us have vitality enough to make any of our instincts imperious.
George Bernard Shaw
The prayers of a lover are more imperious than the menaces of the whole world.
George Sand
There is nothing so skillful in its own defense as imperious pride.
Helen Hunt Jackson
