Evil Queen

Famous quotes containing the words evil and/or queen:

“If one does not do evil things in the daytime, one need not fear knocks on the door in the middle of the night.”
—Chinese proverb.

“In the early forties and fifties almost everybody “had about enough to live on,” and young ladies dressed well on a hundred dollars a year. The daughters of the richest man in Boston were dressed with scrupulous plainness, and the wife and mother owned one brocade, which did service for several years. Display was considered vulgar. Now, alas! only Queen Victoria dares to go shabby.”
