“When he comes to me, I am ready.
I’ll wash his feet with my hair if he needs,
Forgive him when his tongue lies through his brain.
Even after three times, he betrays me.
I’ll bring him down, bring him down, down,
A king with no crown, king with no crown.”

— Lady Gaga

“I wear the cap and he the crown;—
What of that?
I sleep on straw and he on down;—
What of that?
And he's the king and I'm the clown;—
What of that?
If happy I, — and wretched he, —
Perhaps the king would change with me!”

“Why can't a man stand alone?
Must he be burdened by all that he's taught to consider his own?

They are no kings, though they possess the crown.
Titles are shadows, crowns are empty things,
The good of subjects is the end of kings.”

“I have encouraged him. I said to him after he told me that Hun Sen told him he wished him to be the next King…When I die, please replace me.
