Famous quotes containing the words big and/or crown:

    “But I died yesterday,
    “Daddy,” I died,
    swallowing the Nazi-Jap-animal
    and it won’t get out
    it keeps knocking at my eyes,
    my big orphan eyes....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “I’ll make thee glorious by my pen
    And famous by my sword;
    I’ll serve thee in such noble ways
    Was never heard before;
    I’ll crown and deck thee all with bays,
    And love thee more and more.”
    —James Graham Marquess of Montrose (1612–1650)
