Famous quotes containing the words queen and/or christina:

    “We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    “If there could be such a thing as the Mammon of Righteousness Christina would have assuredly made friends with it.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
