Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or institution:

    “Not to these shores she came! this other Thrace,
    Environ barbarous to the royal Attic;
    How could her delicate dirge run democratic,
    Delivered in a cloudless boundless public place
    To an inordinate race?”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    “La la la, Oh music swims back to me
    and I can feel the tune they played
    the night they left me
    in this private institution on a hill.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
