Famous quotes containing the words red and/or queen:

    “If you don’t begin to be a revolutionist at the age of twenty, then at fifty you will be a most impossible old fossil. If you are a red revolutionary at the age of twenty, you have some chance of being up-to-date when you are forty!”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “This queen will live. Nature awakes,
    A warmth breathes out of her. She hath not been
    Entranced above five hours. See how she ‘gins
    To blow into life’s flower again.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
