Famous quotes containing the words frederick and/or roberts:

    But since ‘tis only Fred,
    Who was alive and is dead,
    There’s no more to be said.
    —Unknown. On Prince Frederick (l. 11–13)

    Man, she looked as though she’d been thrown off the crummiest freight train in the world. Yet, in spite of this, I got the impression of beauty. Not the beauty of a movie actress, mind you, or the beauty you dream about when you’re with your wife. But a natural beauty. A beauty that’s almost homely because it’s so real.
    Martin Goldsmith, and Edgar G. Ulmer. Al Roberts (Tom Neal)
