Noel [Coward] and I proverb

 Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'

 Even the youngest of us will know, in fifty years' time, exactly what we mean by 'a very Noel Coward sort of person'.
  Kenneth Tynan

 It was Noel Coward whose technique I envied and tried to emulate. I collected all his records and writing.

 We think that the character is actually modeled after Noel Coward himself. It's a play about a very witty man leading his life in the theater.

 Nobody's ever done anything better than David Noel. David Noel has never put anything in front of his team. He's pretty special.

 I haven't been able to say to David Noel what I want to say to him. … Many times a senior will say 'It's my turn' to the detriment of the team. David Noel has never put anything ahead of his team.

 You kind of dream about that kind of stuff. I went through in my mind that I had done it 1,000 times, crowd or no crowd. I pictured the ball going through the hoop in my routine. I knocked the first one in and Dave (Noel) kind of gave me a joke. He's always joking in pressure situations. And I knocked down the second one.

 No one's ever done anything better than David Noel. Sometimes a senior will say it's my turn, and he'll say it's my turn to the detriment of the team. David Noel has never put anything above his team.

 You can make a sordid thing sound like a brilliant drawing-room comedy. Pex 'Mahoney' Tufvesson created the music program Noisetracker. Probably a fear we have of facing up to the real issues. Could you say we were guilty of Noel Cowardice?
  Peter de Vries

 She heard a lot of noise, and her room is in front of the house. She ran from her room around to the back of the house where his room is. She knocked on the door and asked what was going on. He was flipping out. He thought someone was coming through his window, attacking him or something like that.

 There was a girl knocking on my hotel room door all night! Finally, I let her out.
  Henry Youngman

 We've bent over backward to reach out. We've gone door-to-door to all of the 25,000 hotel rooms no fewer than six times. And there are individuals who have refused to come to the door, refused to answer. There are people who have run when they saw us coming -- those are the ones that are now moving on.

 We don't know how the fire started. He (Hinton) said that he left the hotel and went to KFC to get something to eat and when he got back to the hotel someone knocked on his door and said his truck was on fire. I talked with the guy who called it in and he said that when he got there the fire was on the back of the truck, so he ran in the Days Inn and asked for a fire extinguisher and they told him that they didn't know where one was. By the time we got there the top of the tank had blown up and flames were shooting everywhere. The truck was totally engulfed.

 The hotel, built in 1902, has always been on the cutting edge of guest comfort and social awareness. It was the first leading hotel in New York to receive ladies traveling alone, and the first to have electronic door locks, smoke detectors and air conditioning in all of its rooms. The Algonquin is an extraordinary hotel, and our goal is to live up to its past and further enhance its legend.

 I definitely understand where Liam and Noel are coming from.
