Daughter Caroline

Famous quotes containing the words daughter and/or caroline:

    Isn’t it great to have a lovely, tall, pretty, little, small daughter like that? It’s really wonderful.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    In the drawing room [of the Queen’s palace] hung a Venus and Cupid by Michaelangelo, in which, instead of a bit of drapery, the painter has placed Cupid’s foot between Venus’s thighs. Queen Caroline asked General Guise, an old connoisseur, if it was not a very fine piece? He replied “Madam, the painter was a fool, for he has placed the foot where the hand should be.”
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
