Famous quotes containing the words royal and/or forests:
“Are you there, Africa with the bulging chest and oblong thigh?

Slowly you vanish, you withdraw into the past, into the tales of castaways, colonial museums, the works of scholars.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
“What forests of laurel we bring, and the tears of mankind, to those who stood firm against the opinion of their contemporaries!”
