Received Amadeus

Famous quotes containing the words received and/or amadeus:

    When I received this [coronation] ring I solemnly bound myself in marriage to the realm; and it will be quite sufficient for the memorial of my name and for my glory, if, when I die, an inscription be engraved on a marble tomb, saying, “Here lieth Elizabeth, which reigned a virgin, and died a virgin.”
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    It is nearly always the most improbable things that really come to pass.
    —E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
