Famous quotes containing the words royal, red and/or cross:

    “a highly respectable gondolier,
    Who promised the Royal babe to rear
    And teach him the trade of a timoneer
    With his own beloved brattling.”
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    “The true colour of life is the colour of the body, the colour of the covered red, the implicit and not explicit red of the living heart and the pulses. It is the modest colour of the unpublished blood.”
    —Alice Meynell (1847–1922)

    “I know we’re not saints or virgins or lunatics; we know all the lust and lavatory jokes, and most of the dirty people; we can catch buses and count our change and cross the roads and talk real sentences. But our innocence goes awfully deep, and our discreditable secret is that we don’t know anything at all, and our horrid inner secret is that we don’t care that we don’t.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
