Famous quotes containing the words grand, duke and/or frederick:

“Unpretending mediocrity is good, and genius is glorious; but a weak flavor of genius in an essentially common person is detestable. It spoils the grand neutrality of a commonplace character, as the rinsings of an unwashed wine-glass spoil a draught of fair water.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

“For the man who should loose me is dead,
Fighting with the Duke in Flanders,
In a pattern called a war.
Christ! What are patterns for?”
—Amy Lowell (1874–1925)

“It’s a pity you didn’t know when you started your game of murder, that I was playing, too.”
—Robb White, and William Castle. Frederick Loren (Vincent Price)
