Prince Panache

Famous quotes containing the words prince and/or panache:

    When the Prince of Piedmont [later Charles Emmanuel IV, King of Sardinia] was seven years old, his preceptor instructing him in mythology told him all the vices were enclosed in Pandora’s box. “What! all!” said the Prince. “Yes, all.” “No,” said the Prince; “curiosity must have been without.”
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

    We ask which means most, for us, all the genii
    Or one man who, for us, is greater than they.
    On his gold horse striding, like a conjured beast,
    Miraculous in its panache and swish?
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
