Silent King

Famous quotes containing the words silent and/or king:

    “They mustn’t know my despair, I can’t let them see the wounds which they have caused, I couldn’t bear their sympathy and their kind-hearted jokes, it would only make me want to scream all the more. If I talk, everyone thinks I’m showing off; when I’m silent they think I’m ridiculous; rude if I answer, sly if I get a good idea, lazy if I’m tired, selfish if I eat a mouthful more than I should, stupid, cowardly, crafty, etc. etc.”
    —Anne Frank (1929–1945)

    “Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?”
    —Henry II, King (1133–1189)
