Famous quotes containing the word queens:

    “Your strength, that is so lofty and fierce and kind,
    It might call up a new age, calling to mind
    The queens that were imagined long ago,
    Is but half yours....”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The queers of the sixties, like those since, have connived with their repression under a veneer of respectability. Good mannered city queens in suits and pinstripes, so busy establishing themselves, were useless at changing anything.
    Derek Jarman (b. 1942)
