A goose flies by a chart which the Royal Geographical Society could not mend.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

A plague on eminence! I hardly dare cross the street anymore without a convoy, and I am stared at wherever I go like an idiot member of a royal family or an animal in a zoo; and zoo animals have been known to die from stares.
Igor Stravinsky

A Royal Commission is a broody hen sitting on a china egg.
Michael Foot

At the moment I'm enjoying a new challenge at the Royal Opera House, but I'm also keen to pursue my interest in television and particularly in science.
Deborah Bull

Bohemia is nothing more than the little country in which you do not live. If you try to obtain citizenship in it, at once the court and retinue pack the royal archives and treasure and move away beyond the hills.
O. Henry

Dad went to Canada to learn how to fly with the Royal Canadian Air Force. He took me on my first airplane ride, where I could have a hand on the stick.
Wally Schirra

Dancing is a tough career, but I'm glad I spent it at the Royal Ballet.
Deborah Bull

For a time during the 1980s the Royal Family were not just the most influential family in Britain but probably in Europe and Prince Charles specifically was very much like a defacto Cabinet member and what he said actually had impact on public policy.
Andrew Morton

He's a TV producer, a theatrical impresario, and he wants to be treated as Mr. Windsor but when the going gets rough he wants to be treated like a member of the Royal Family.
Andrew Morton

I am glad to have this opportunity of expressing my high appreciation of the honour extended to me many years ago by the Royal Swedish Academy of Science by enrolling me amongst its members.
Guglielmo Marconi

I count myself fortunate to be able to contribute to this work; and the great interest which the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has shown in my work and the recognition that it has paid to my past successes, convince me that I am not on the wrong track.
Pieter Zeeman

I do take class because I still dance, and yes, I do slip into class with the Royal Ballet from time to time.
Deborah Bull

I praise the Lord, the Sovereign of the royal realm, Who has extended his sway over the tract of the world.
Taliesin

I pretend I'm one of the royal family when I'm in a hotel and that the hotel belongs to me - it is a palace.
Martin Short

I think it's perhaps fair to say we've been one of the most influential Royal Commissions this country ever had and there's nothing we have said that isn't relevant to the present situation.
Frank Scott

I was at the Royal Art School. That was a preparatory school specially for art teachers. You see, it was not so much for the development of artists. But we had there terribly stiff training.
Josef Albers

I went to London and performed in Eric Clapton's concert at the Royal Albert Hall. I'll work with him any time he asks me.
Carole King

I would argue that television and particularly the BBC were instrumental in puffing up the Royal Family to a level where they were inflated out of all, all proportion to their relevance on the national scene.
Andrew Morton

If you look at the British royal family and take away the scandals and the goofy stuff that's going on, people love to have this king to look up to - the royals are like celebrities.
Kevin J. Anderson

In 1995, I was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.
