Received Strong Critical

Famous quotes containing the words received, strong and/or critical:

    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)

    We then lived roses; I had fooled despair
    And boxed him up and flogged his retinue,
    Made strong by cheeks and lips! I sucked in dew,
    And dragged the world, a weakling, by the hair.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The critical period in matrimony is breakfast-time.
    —A.P. (Sir Alan Patrick)
