My earliest memory is nursing and struggling to see the colored lights making up the map of the world, the famous backdrop for Larry King’s TV show. There’s an ‘I-want-to-do-all-things-at-once’ kind of theme to it. – Ronan Farrow
The Los Angeles riots were not caused by the Rodney King verdict. The Los Angeles riots were caused by rioters. – Rush Limbaugh
I don’t like fantasy where a king snaps his fingers and suddenly a whole army appears and goes off to war – he’s got to feed them, he’s got to pay them, he’s got to take care of the camp followers and the gamblers and the people who cause disorder. – Raymond E. Feist
I love watching the Serengeti, the way lions live. The only way the king lion loses his crown is by somebody physically defeating him. – Ray Lewis

Sitting in the Oval Office, beneath a painting of George Washington, with a bust of Martin Luther King Jr. over his right shoulder and a bust of Abraham Lincoln over his left shoulder, Obama told ‘National Journal’ that the country’s economic woes are deep and endemic. – Ron Fournier
I grew up near King’s Cross station in London, living in an apartment block where my dad was a caretaker. – Phil Daniels
Khomeini was not a puppet like Arafat or Qaddafi or the many other dictators I met in the Islamic world. He was a sort of Pope, a sort of king – a real leader. – Oriana Fallaci
When I saw all of the people I have known all these years, when we got together, it was scary because B.B King and I lived in the same place in Nevada. – Ruth Brown
I want to play King Lear, Macbeth, Benedict, Coriolanus. I wouldn’t mind doing Hamlet again. Well, I’m a little old. Perhaps I can rub Vaseline on the audience’s eyes. – Roger Rees

In the spring of 1854, some of my publications persuaded King Maximilian II of Bavaria to offer me, at the suggestion of Emanuel Geibel, a position in Munich with an annual salary of 1000 guilders, to take part in his so-called symposia, weekly soirees at which scholars and poets were gathered. – Paul Heyse
In the kingdom of consumption the citizen is king. A democratic monarchy: equality before consumption, fraternity in consumption, and freedom through consumption. – Raoul Vaneigem
Melody is king, and don’t you ever forget it. Lyrics appear to be out front, but they’re not; they’re just an accompanying factor. If they’re good, you’re really in good shape. Lyrics are written to be rewritten. – Quincy Jones
I grew up Catholic, so I have these defenses about listening to anything with too much religiosity; some of the lyrics didn’t sit well in my mouth. One of my beefs is the patriarchal setup. Having the ‘he, he, he, God, God, God, king, king, king’ stuff was hard for me. – Patty Griffin

I can not, therefore, see how this can be imputed as a crime, or how any of the king’s ministers can be blamed for his doing what the public has no concern in; for if the public be well and faithfully served it has no business to ask by whom. – Robert Walpole
Life is not always like chess. Just because you have the king surrounded, don’t think he is not capable of hurting you. – Ron Livingston
In England, the sovereignty resides exclusively in the person or individual who is king. All Englishmen are his subjects. And the highest peer in the realm… has no share in the sovereignty. – Roger B. Taney
The first real thing I heard was Three O’Clock Blues by B.B. King. That’s where it all began for me. – Robin Trower
