Prince Konrad

Famous quotes containing the words prince and/or konrad:

    The Prince but studies his companions
    Like a strange tongue, wherein, to gain the language,
    ‘Tis needful that the most immodest word
    Be looked upon and learnt, which once attained,
    Your highness knows, comes to no further use
    But to be known and hated.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    ... So damn your food and damn your wines,
    Your twisted loaves and twisting vines,
    Your table d’hôte, your à la carte,
    . . . .
    From now on you can keep the lot.
    Take every single thing you’ve got,
    Your land, your wealth, your men, your dames,
    Your dream of independent power,
    And dear old Konrad Adenauer,
    And stick them up your Eiffel Tower.
    Anthony Jay (b. 1930)
