Famous quotes containing the words prince and/or imperial:
“A wholly materialistic city is nothing but a dream incarnate. Venice is the world’s unconscious, a miser’s glittering hoard, guarded by a Beast whose eyes are made of white agate, and by a saint who is really a prince who has just slain a dragon.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“The formal Washington dinner party has all the spontaneity of a Japanese imperial funeral.”
