Famous quotes containing the words queen and/or stakes:

    “And thus Snow White became the prince’s bride.
    The wicked queen was invited to the wedding feast
    and when she arrived there were
    red-hot iron shoes,
    in the manner of red-hot roller skates,
    clamped upon her feet.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Law makes long spokes of the short stakes of men.”
