Famous quotes containing the words rose and/or queen:
“The rose is a rose,
And was always a rose.
But the theory now goes
That the apple’s a rose,”

“We used chamber-pots a good deal.... My mother ... loved to repeat: “When did the queen reign over China?” This whimsical and harmless scatological pun was my first introduction to the wonderful world of verbal transformations, and also a first perception that a joke need not be funny to give pleasure.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
