Megan Whalen TurnerThere exists in the world today, and has existed for thousands of years, a body of enlightened humans united in what might be termed, an Order of the Quest. It is composed of those whose intellectual and spiritual perceptions have revealed to them that civilisation has a secret Destiny... The outcome of this 'secret destiny' is a World Order ruled by a king with supernatural powers[the antichrist]. This king was descended of a divine race; that is, he belonged to the Order of the Illumined; for those who come to a state of wisdom then belong to a family of heroes-perfected human beings.
Manly HallAll these questions about do you want to be king? It's not a question of wanting to be, it's something I was born into and it's my duty. . . . Wanting is not the right word. But those stories about me not wanting to be king are all wrong.

Robert BoltI've never actually met one in the wild, but I have seen a king cobra. They go towards people, they rear up six feet tall and they're very aggressive and they are very fast. And one bite means certain death. So if I encountered a king cobra in the wild I would be very alarmed.
David AttenboroughI guess if one set of my books was selling like Stephen King's, and the other wasn't selling at all, editors would want me to do the ones that sold like Stephen King's. But they seem to be willing to let me pick what I want to do next.

Lee TrevinoDo you really want to know why you lost?โ I asked. โDo you really have an answer?โ he countered. โYou need to get off your horse and run with your men. You donโt have the stamina for a long fight. And find a lighter sword.โ โBut it was my uncleโs.โ โYouโre not your uncle.โ โBut Iโm the King, and this is the Kingโs sword,โ Cahil said. His brows creased together. He seemed confused. โSo wear it to your coronation,โ I said. โIf you use it in battle, youโll be wearing it to your funeral,โ I said.
Maria V. SnyderVelvet looks horrified. โIf you are fool enough to address King Rโjan, you will do it thus and in no other manner! โMy King, Liege, Lord, and Master, your servant begs you grant it leave to speak.โโ โWow. Totally delusionary there.โ โGood luck with that,โ Ryodan says. โShe doesn't beg to speak, or do anything else. You can lock her up, down, and sideways and itโs never going to happen.โ I beam at him. I had no idea he thought so highly of me.

Yosef Yitzchak JacobsonI was working in the gap where Martin Luther King, Jr. quoted communism and Warhol appropriated the protest image and named it riot, which is precisely what King didn't want his cause to be associated with. But that was the very thing that made it sexy to the art world. So I played between the two associations.
Kelley WalkerThe President is to be commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States. In this respect his authority would be nominally the same with that of the king of Great Britain, but in substance much inferior to it. It would amount to nothing more than the supreme command and direction of the land and naval forces, as first general and admiral ... while that of the British king extends to the declaring of war and to the raising and regulating of fleets and armies - all which, by the Constitution under consideration, would appertain to the legislature.

Sue BarkerThere hasn't been a leak from one of the associates of the king saying, "This guy Trump, he already insulted us wanting ketchup with his steak, and then he wanted two scoops of ice cream on the falafel. It's not done. This guy's an absolute barbarian." And there hasn't been a leak from an associate of King Salman telling somebody in the Drive-By Media that Donald Trump looked at his son, the prince, and said, "Man, I hope you live a long time 'cause your son's a nut job." We haven't had leaks like this about the Trump foreign trip.

Roberta WilliamsYes,โ I told him. โI think the guy playing the Pirate King was awesome.โ He stopped where he was. โWhat?โ I asked, frowning at the big smile on his face. โI didnโt say I liked the Pirate King,โ he told me. โOh.โ I closed my eyesโand there he was. A warm, edgy presence right on the edge of my perception. When I opened my eyes, he was standing right in front of me. โCool,โ I told him. โYouโre back.โ He kissed me leisurely. When he was finished, I was more than ready to head home. Fast. โYou make me laugh,โ he told me seriously.
Patricia BriggsKing of the animals โ as thou hast described him โ I should rather say king of the beasts, thou being the greatest โ because thou hast spared slaying them, in order that they may give thee their children for the benefit of the gullet, of which thou hast attempted to make a sepulchre for all animals; and I would say still more, if it were allowed me to speak the entire truth.

John LewisPeople say to me, 'Do you dye your hair?' and I say, 'Well, does f**king Siouxsie Sioux? Does Bowie?'. Of course I'm going to have a decent haircut. It's one of the first things I learnt to do - get a few songs together and get your hairstyle right.

Eddie RedmayneHe has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating itโs most sacred rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither. this piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the christian king of Great Britain. determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable commerce...

We oppress ourselves by holding on to anger.
