I sometimes think about old tombs and weeds That interwreathe among the bones of kings With cold and poisonous berry and black flower: Or ruminate upon the skulls of steeds Frailer than shells and on those luminous wings - The shoulder blades of Prin...
When I think about the kind of guy I want to marry, I think I might prefer someone who knows where they are going. I mean a prince pretty much has his whole life planned out already, doesn't he? And this is important because I have no idea where I'm ...
Until the sixteenth century, men--priests, academics, judges, merchants, princes, and many others--wore skirts, or robes. For men, the skirt was a 'sign of leisure and a symbol of dignity,' writes Quentin Bell. This is still true for men in high posi...

Brother Row you could trust to make a long shot with a short bow. You could trust him to come out of a knife fight with somebody else's blood on his shirt. You could trust him to lie, to cheat, to steal, and to watch your back. You couldn't trust his...
What about the other girl with you—Forra? Why is she with you?” “I saved her from execution. She is very vocal about her dislike of the king.” “Then why did you save her?” Garvanna asked. Caelfel's expression hardened. “Because the king...
I'm tired of waiting by the phone, and second-guessing what a guy says and trusting someone not to hurt me. Again. I've been storming the relationship castle for fifteen years, and I still don't have my prince. I've got a bunch of battle scars from t...

Harry Potter: It was Malfoy. Professor Minerva McGonagall: That is a very serious accusation, Potter. Severus Snape: Indeed. Your evidence? Harry Potter: I just know. Severus Snape: You just... know? Once again, you astonish me with your gifts Potter...
Horace Slughorn: I would have thought an expert potion-maker like yourself could whip up an antidote for a love potion in no time, Harry? Harry Potter: Well, sir, I think this called for a more practiced hand. Ron Weasley: [throws his arms around Slu...
[Harry and Luna are the last two students to arrive at the school] Professor Filius Flitwick: There you are! We've been looking everywhere for you two. [looks at his register] Professor Filius Flitwick: Now, names? Harry Potter: Professor Flitwick, y...
