God Save The Queen

Famous quotes containing the words god, save and/or queen:

    In olden days a glimpse of stocking
    Was looked on as something shocking
    But now, God knows,
    Anything goes.
    Cole Porter (1893–1964)

    I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be “the Union as it was.”
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
