Famous quotes containing the words elder and/or king:
“The Love that dare not speak its name in this century is such a great affection of an elder for a younger man as there was between David and Jonathan, such as Plato made the very basis of his philosophy, and such as you find in the sonnets of Michelangelo and Shakespeare. It is that deep, spiritual affection that is as pure as it is perfect.... It is in this century misunderstood ... and on account of it I am placed where I am now.”
—Oscar Wilde (18541900)
“You can put a Miss America in a room with a group of other attractive women and youll find you will know exactly who she is. Its almost like a magnet. There is an inner beauty, an inner glow.”
