...Maxon lowered his lips to mine and gave me the faintest whisper of a kiss. Something about the tentativeness of it made me feel beautiful. Without a word, I could understand how excited he was to have this moment, but then afraid at the same time. And deeper than any of that, I sensed that he adored me. So this is what it felt like to be a lady. - Kiera Cass Revenge is what I want. Nothing but pure unadulterated revenge. But my mother brought me up to be a lady. - J P Donleavy Whatever you choose, however many roads you travel, I hope that you choose not to be a lady. I hope you will find some way to break the rules and make a little trouble out there. And I also hope that you will choose to make some of that trouble on behalf of women. - Nora Ephron Well, I went through some emotionally abusive relationships and allowed myself to not be properly respected as a lady, as a human being even, though I tried everything I knew to be a lady. - Gloria Gaynor My mother told me to be a ...

Goodbye, master, my dear! Forgive your Sam. He'll come back to this spot when the job's done - if he manages it. And then he'll not leave you again. Rest you quiet till I come; and may no foul creature come anigh you! And if the Lady could hear me and give me one wish, I would wish to come back and find you again. Good bye! - J R R Tolkien At length the Lady Galadriel released them from her eyes, and she smiled. 'Do not let your hearts be troubled,' she said. 'Tonight you shall sleep in peace.' Then they sighed and felt suddenly weary, as those who have been questioned long and deeply, though no words had been spoken openly. - J R R Tolkien Who would have thought, Mr. Jiabao, that of this whole family, the lady with the short skirt would be the one with a conscience? - Aravind Adiga Real mothers don't just listen with humble embarrassment to the elderly lady who offers unsolicited advice in the checkout line when a child is throwing a tantrum. We tak...

For us she is not the iron lady. She is the kind, dear Mrs. Thatcher. - Alexander Dubcek Did you know they call the tower the "Iron Lady"? Hmm. Isn't that Margaret Thatched called that, too? Frankly, they don't look anything alike to me. For one thing, Maggie has two legs, and the Parisian Iron Lady has four on the floor, like me. - Sheron Long

Are you telling me your brain and your lady parts decided on a love fest bake-off winner? - Janet Evanovich Kitty: I thought your ladyship was ill. I wanted to help you. Lady deWinter: I ill? Do you take me for a weak woman? When I am insulted I do not feel ill - I avenge myself. Do you hear? - Alexandre Dumas Warrior, when you pledge yourself to the service of a High Priestess, the goal is not to frighten her to death but to protect your lady from death. - P C Cast Viola to Duke Orsino: 'I'll do my best To woo your lady.' [Aside.] 'Yet, a barful strife! Whoe'er I woo, myself would be his wife. - William Shakespeare And our lady friend, she thinks life works like a fairy tale.' Well, that's harmless, isn't it?'

We call ourselves Our Lady of the Perpetual Ast...

The old lady pulled her spectacles down and looked over them about the room; then she put them up and looked out under them. She seldom or never looked through them for so small a thing as a boy; they were her state pair, the pride of her heart, and were built for "style," not service she could have seen through a pair of stove-lids just as well. She looked perplexed for a moment, and then said, not fiercely, but still loud enough for the furniture to hear: - Mark Twain Don't say the old lady screamed. Bring her on and let her scream. - Mark Twain "TOM!" No answer. "TOM!" No answer. "What's gone with that boy, I wonder? You TOM!" No answer.

But I was wrong. I should have known it wasn't owver, couldn't be over quite easily. No sooner was Xavier out of sight than a little cylinder of paper fell from the top of my locker. As I unrolled it, I knew I'd see black calligraphy crawling across it like a spider. Dread settled around me like a fog as the words burned into my brain: The Lake of Fire awaits my lady - Alexandra Adornetto The lake of fire awaits my lady - Alexandra Adornetto Oh, don't I wish I could manage things for you as I do for my heroines! You're pretty enough and good enough already, so I'd have some rich relation leave you a fortune unexpectedly; then you'd dash out as an heiress, scorn everyone who has slighted you, go abroad, and como home my Lady Something in a blaze of splendor and elegance. - Louisa May Alcott You know how the bonds of family are, my lady... They cling as tightly as vines. And sometimes, like vines, they cling tightly enough to kill. - Cassandra Clare I ...

You're walking through a field all by yourself one day in spring and this sweet little bear cub with velvet fur and shiny little eyes comes walking along. And he says to you, 'Hi, there, little lady. Want to tumble with me?' So you and the bear spend the whole day in each other's arms, tumbling down this clover-covered hill. Nice, huh? - Haruki Murakami A gut-string classical Spanish guitar, a sweet, lovely little lady. The smell of it. Even now, to open a guitar case, when it's an old wooden guitar, I could crawl in and close the lid. - Keith Richards Gundar isn't so much a ship's captain as a reformed pirate and a heathen." [Evanlyn] looked apologetically at Gundar. "No offense, Gundar." The skirl shrugged cheerfully. "None taken, little lady. It's a pretty fair description. Not sure about the reformed part," he added thoughtfully. - John Flanagan Anyone who calls you "little lady" has already excluded you from the...

When I was about 15... I made my first attempt as a leading lady, and was, of course, a complete failure. - Maude Adams I think of myself more as a character actor than that ingenue leading lady, who started out something like Michelle Pfeiffer, or Jessica Lange.

Think of me if you will as the Lady of Shalott... who chooses to watch diligently the bright colours of her Web - to ply an industrious shuttle - to make - something - to close the Shutters and the Peephole too - - A S Byatt There she weaves by night and day, A magic web with colors gay. She has heard a whisper say, A curse is on her if she stay, To look down to Camelot. She knows not what the curse may be, And so she weaveth steadily, And little other care hath she, The Lady of Shalott. - Alfred Lord Tennyson The mirror crack'd from side to side/ "The curse has come upon me," cried/ The Lady of Shalott - Alfred Lord Tennyson I am half-sick of shadows,' said The Lady of Shalott. - Alfred Lord Tennyson Who is this? And what is here? And in the lighted palace near Died the sound of royal cheer; And they crossed themselves for fear, All the Knights at Camelot; But Lancelot mused a little space He said, She has a lovely face; God in his mercy lend her grace, The Lady...

But screw your courage to the sticking place, And we'll not fail. - William Shakespeare Who was it that thus cried? why? worthy thane, you do unbend your noble strength to think so brainsickly of things.Go get some water and wash this filthy witness from your hand.Why did you bring these daggers from the place?They must lie there.

I'll wear a pair of platform shoes or something. - Bette Midler

He had also the reputation of being a bit of a lady killer. But that probably accrued to him from his possession of a laughing, velvety voice which no girl could hear without a heartbeat, and a dangerous way of listening as if she were saying something that he had longed all his life to hear. - L M Montgomery I'm a pretty quiet guy, but if people want to think of me as a lady killer, I guess that's good. - James Woods

My whole point is like, well, if I'm the pop star, then it should be whatever I am. There's, you know, room for Katy Perrys and Adeles and Rihannas and Lady Gagas and Ke$has and me and Pinks. I think what's great about all of us is that we represent something different. - Kelly Clarkson There's no sense drawing attention to yourself, Li." "Hellooooo. I'm aHorseman of the Apocalypse, and I'm betrothed to the most infamous, most powerful demon in existence. I couldn't draw more attention to myself i I wore Lady Gaga's meat dress to a PETA convention. - Larissa Ione The ultimate weapon is Lady Gaga's music. Why kill the enemy when you can play her music and they'll want to kill themselves? - Jarod Kintz All I want to do is be a gay icon. I was reading Lady Gaga's twitter, because she has like 12 million followers, or something like that. I feel like she has fans, gay, straight, bi, who would throw themselves off a building for her....

Everything I have is dirty, but I'm sure I can figure something. Maybe I can make a dress out of a garbage bag. Lady Gaga wore that meat dress to the VMA's, so I should be able to dress in a garbage bag. I'll get black ones, to symbolize my current state of mind. Like performance art of something. - Lauren Barnholdt The secret to a great ice cream, is crunch coat." I look at him, aghast. "Crunch coat? Oh, Noah darling, you are so wrong. Everyone knows you ruin ice cream by putting crunch coat on it," "Crunch coat," Noah says, "is delicious. And besides, I'm supposed to be taking advice from you?" "What's that supposed to mean?" "You listen to Lady Gaga. - Lauren Barnholdt I like Lady Gaga because I like that she pushes the envelope. - Pat Benatar My whole point is like, well, if I'm the pop star, then it should be whatever I am. There's, you know, room for Katy Perrys and Adeles and Rihannas and Lady Gagas...

If you are speaking of music...it is of all subjects my delight. There are few people in England I suppose, who have more true enjoyment of music than myself, or a better natural taste. If I had ever learnt, I should have been a great proficient. And so would Anne, if her health would have allowed her to apply. I am confident that she would have performed delightfully. - Lady Catherine de Bourgh in Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen Upon my word,'' said her ladyship, "you give your opinion very decidedly for so young a person. -- Pray, what is your age?'' Lady Catherine de Bourgh in Pride and Prejudice" Jane Austen - Jane Austen She delivered a vicious blow, penetrating his rib cage, and withdrew her hand with the ninja's still-beating heart in it. As all but Lady Catherine turned away in disgust, Elizabeth took a bite, letting the blood run down her chin and onto her sparring gown. "Curious," said Elizabeth, still chewing. "I have tast...

Never met such a Gorgon... I don't really know what a Gorgon is like, but I am quite sure that Lady Bracknell is one. In any case, she is a monster, without being a myth, which is rather unfair. - Oscar Wilde LADY BRACKNELL Thirty-five is a very attractive age. London society is full of women of the very highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained thirty-five for years. Lady Dumbleton is an instance in point. To my own knowledge she has been thirty-five ever since she arrived at the age of forty, which was many years ago now. - Oscar Wilde Lady Bracknell. Good afternoon, dear Algernon, I hope you are behaving very well. Algernon. I'm feeling very well, Aunt Augusta. Lady Bracknell. That's not quite the same thing.

A man should always have an occupation of some kind. There are far too many idle men in London as...

I am here to play women's tennis. I'm a lady. Predominantly, most of the time I always like to play ladies. - Serena Williams I was a married woman and I had a baby. I would have adored it, but I just couldn't do it because I'm a lady. - Ruth Warrick

His Lady sad to see his sore constraint, Cried out, "Now now Sir knight, shew what ye bee, Add faith unto your force, and be not faint: Strangle her, else she sure will strangle thee." That when he heard, in great perplexitie, His gall did grate for griefe and high distaine, And knitting all his force got one hand free, Wherewith he grypt her gorge with so great paine, That soone to loose her wicked bands did her constraine. - Edmund Spenser Kill her for me," she said in that whiny little-girl voice. Diego took a step toward me, wearing an expression that told me he was only too happy to oblige his lady love. "Oh, what?" I said. I wasn't even scared. I didn't care anymore. The numbness in my heart had pretty much taken over my whole body. "You always do what she tells you? You know, we have a word for that now. It's called being whipped. - Meg Cabot My dear Mr. Bennet," said his lady to him one day, "have you heard that Neth...

My children were born into this. They will always be the grandchildren of the President and First Lady of the United States. - Columba Bush The most important job is not to be governor, or first lady in my case. - George W Bush Any first lady can do whatever they want to do. In this country, people expect them to work on whatever they want or to have a career of their own. - Laura Bush I turned to books for comfort. (Former First Lady, Laura Bush) - Laura Bush The First Lady role is really difficult. It has no job description... You have to create it for yourself. - Hillary Clinton I want to be the first lady to land a quadruple jump in competition. As I grow older, I know that my skating style will develop and mature. - Sasha Cohen I always enjoyed politics. I worked at the White House recently, primarily for the First Lady. Because of my experience running my travel agency, I was in charge of the files she kept on the Travel Office. - Joseph Force Crater Mister, when I see m...
