Famous quotes containing the words queen and/or college:

    Just pierce my right side open
    And save my baby.”
    —Unknown. The Death of Queen Jane (l. 7–8)

    Jerry: She’s one of those third-year girls that gripe my liver.
    Milo: Third-year girls?
    Jerry: Yeah, you know, American college kids. They come over here to take their third year and lap up a little culture. They give me a swift pain.
    Milo: Why?
    Jerry: They’re officious and dull. They’re always making profound observations they’ve overheard.
    Alan Jay Lerner (1918–1986)
