Famous quotes by queen:

    O Queen of air and darkness,
    I think ‘tis truth you say,
    And I shall die to-morrow;
    But you will die to-day.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    ‘The horror of that moment,’ the King went on, ‘I shall never, never forget!’
    ‘You will, though,’ the Queen said, ‘if you don’t make a memorandum of it.’
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    Ah petal, dust and wind-fall
    on the ground queen awaiting queen.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    It is better to pay court to a queen ... than to worship, as we too often do, some unworthy person whose wealth is his sole passport into society. I believe that a habit of respect is good for the human race.
    M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

    Happy are your wives! Happy are these your servants, who continually attend you and hear your wisdom!
    Bible: Hebrew, 1 Kings 10:8.
