La Idea Imperial

Famous quotes containing the words idea and/or imperial:

    I had the idea that there were two worlds. There was a real world as I called it, a world of wars and boxing clubs and children’s homes on back streets, and this real world was a world where orphans burned orphans.... I liked the other world in which almost everyone lived. The imaginary world.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    The imperial votaress passed on,
    In maiden meditation, fancy-free.
