God Save The Queen

Famous quotes containing the words god, save and/or queen:

    Pan had been amongst them—not the great god Pan, who has been buried these two thousand years, but the little god Pan, who presides over social contretemps and unsuccessful picnics.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    Whate’er she meant by it, bury it with me,
    For since I am
    Love’s martyr, it might breed idolatry,
    If into others’ hands these Reliques came;
    As ‘twas humility
    To afford to it all that a Soul can do,
    So, ‘tis some bravery,
    That since you would save none of me, I bury some of you.
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    I have nothing against the Queen of England. Even in my heart I never resented her for not being Jackie Kennedy. She is, to my mind, a very gallant lady, victimized by whoever it is who designs the tops of her uniforms.
    Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
