Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or origins:

    Oh, I know my family’s not of royal blood, but you needn’t throw it in my face all the time.
    —Robert N. Lee. Rowland V. Lee. Queen Elyzabeth (sic)

    Grown onto every inch of plate, except
    Where the hinges let it move, were living things,
    Barnacles, mussels, water weeds—and one
    Blue bit of polished glass, glued there by time:
    The origins of art.
    Howard Moss (b. 1922)
