Queen Henrietta

Famous quotes containing the words queen and/or henrietta:

    The Queen had one way of settling all difficulties, great or small. “Off with his head!” she said without even looking around.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    There are women in middle life, whose days are crowded with practical duties, physical strain, and moral responsibility ... they fail to see that some use of the mind, in solid reading or in study, would refresh them by its contrast with carking cares, and would prepare interest and pleasure for their later years. Such women often sink into depression, as their cares fall away from them, and many even become insane. They are mentally starved to death.
    —Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
