Madame

Famous quotes containing the word madame:

    Madame d’Estampes and Madame de Valentinois make me fear that I should be only honoured by my husband as a queen and not loved by him as a woman.
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    But Madame Bad Luck soberly comes
    And stays—no fancy has she for flitting;
    John Milton Hay (1838–1905)

    Rather would I have the love songs of romantic ages, rather Don Juan and Madame Venus, rather an elopement by ladder and rope on a moonlight night, followed by the father’s curse, mother’s moans, and the moral comments of neighbors, than correctness and propriety measured by yardsticks.
    Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
