“She wasn't much to look at but she was something to think about.”
Speech to Queen Elizabeth II http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2007/05/07/bush-to-queen-you-helpe_n_47847.html during her visit to the White House. (May 7, 2007)

Pt. III, st. 5
The Lady of Shalott (1832)
Context: She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces through the room,
She saw the water-lily bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She looked down to Camelot.
Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror cracked from side to side;
"The curse is come upon me," cried
The Lady of Shalott.
“Why couldn't she be part of that family? rent a room in someone else's life.”

“She glanced at him. “What gods do you respect?”
“None.”
“And why not?”
“I help myself,” he said.”
