Virgin

Famous quotes containing the word virgin:

    Sir Charles: Are you?
    Princess Dala: What?
    Sir Charles: What they call you—the Virgin Queen?
    Princess Dala: I’m not a queen.
    Blake Edwards (b. 1922)

    If it were worth while to argue a paradox, one might maintain that nature regards the female as the essential, the male as the superfluity of her world. Perhaps the best starting-point for study of the Virgin would be a practical acquaintance with bees, and especially with queen bees.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    I am weaker than a woman’s tear,
    Tamer than sleep, fonder than ignorance,
    Less valiant than the virgin in the night,
    And skilless as unpractised infancy.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
