Unknown. On Prince Frederick

Famous quotes containing the words unknown, prince and/or frederick:

    So that this beautiful realm of hers was held in her mind extended, or lengthened: it had been finite, bounded, known utterly and in every detail, self-enclosed ... but now it lapped and rippled out and upwards beyond there into hinterlands that were like unknown possibilities in her own mind.
    Doris Lessing (b. 1919)

    A prince never lacks legitimate reasons to break his promise.
    Niccolò Machiavelli (1469–1527)

    But since ‘tis only Fred,
    Who was alive and is dead,
    There’s no more to be said.
    —Unknown. On Prince Frederick (l. 11–13)
