Famous quotes containing the words queen and/or sacrifice:

    “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then queen died of grief” is a plot.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    The sacrifice to Legba was completed; the Master of the Crossroads had taken the loas’ mysterious routes back to his native Guinea.
    Meanwhile, the feast continued. The peasants were forgetting their misery: dance and alcohol numbed them, carrying away their shipwrecked conscience in the unreal and shady regions where the savage madness of the African gods lay waiting.
    Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
