Famous quotes containing the words red and/or queen:
“He gets red roses in different places,
the head, that time he was as sleepy as a river,
the back, that time he was a broken scarecrow,
the arm like a diamond had bitten it,
the leg, twisted like a licorice stick....”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
“The horror of that moment, the King went on, I shall never, never forget!
You will, though, the Queen said, if you dont make a memorandum of it.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
