Famous quotes containing the words queen and/or college:

    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)

    ... when you make it a moral necessity for the young to dabble in all the subjects that the books on the top shelf are written about, you kill two very large birds with one stone: you satisfy precious curiosities, and you make them believe that they know as much about life as people who really know something. If college boys are solemnly advised to listen to lectures on prostitution, they will listen; and who is to blame if some time, in a less moral moment, they profit by their information?
    Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
