“No ruler can ever get far with only militaristic power. The easiest way to conquer is to crush people’s faith and convert them to your own ideology, often portraying it as heroic. I am an ambitious man â€� I am not just a casual pirate to steal only people’s riches. I am an emperor â€� I shall steal people’s hearts, hopes, and faith so that they will eventually have no one but me to turn to. If you put yourself in the role of a saviour, people are sure to follow you, just like a pack of lambs always follows a mighty shepherd.”
― Tamuna Tsertsvadze, Galaxy Pirates

“A nice street, Fred. A nice neighborhood. Oh, I know how the intellectuals sneer at suburbia - it's not as romantic as the rat-infested tenements or the hale-and-hearty back-to-the-land stuff. There are no great museums in suburbia, no great forests, no great challenges.”
― Richard Bachman, The Bachman Books

“During the morning chores, you look forward with love, during the evening ones, you look back with nostalgia."

“There is also the significance of the crown of thorns for the church, God's redeemed people. It reminds us that Christ is a King and that he is victorious even when he seems defeated. However abased Christ may appear to me he is still a King. He accomplishes a regal task at Calvary and gains for us a royal pardon. He ascends a throne as he goes to be crucified, a throne of grace. In this apparent weakness he is the mighty Conqueror of Satan and sin and death, the Overcomer of this world. The cross appears as foolishness to the world, but to God's redeemed people that cross is victory, salvation, the power of God.”

“If I ordered a general to fly from one flower to another like a butterfly, or to write
a tragic drama, or to change himself into a sea bird, and if the general did not carry
out the order that he had received, which one of us would be in the wrong?" the
king demanded. "The general, or myself?"
......
Exactly. One much require from each one the duty which each one can perform,"
the king went on. "Accepted authority rests first of all on reason. If you ordered
your people to go and throw themselves into the sea, they would rise up in
revolution. I have the right to require obedience because my orders are
reasonable. (Chapter X)”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

“There are events, strange happenings, that strike
The mind as emblematic. They are like
Lost similes adrift without a string.
Attached to nothing. Thus that northern king,
Whose desperate escape from prison was
Brought off successfully only because
Some forty of his followers that night
Impersonated him and aped his flight -”
― Vladimir Nabokov, Pale Fire

“A wise king does not garner all wit, instead he also allows his cunselors to be wise.”

“A bad king revels in his importance. A good one hates his office. He spends himself into infirmity quashing deadly little plots to make power the tool of the greedy.”

“I think they would be ideal leaders. They would work for the good of all rather than just a select few.”
― J.W. Lynne, Above the Sky Trilogy

“In my understanding, there are a number of souls, particularly those of the crowd, who are forever subconsciously looking for a mere human system or human being to be a godlike figure for the masses: one to wear the crown, to take the throne...which is why it seems for the lives of them they can barely cope when they feel the wrong one is holding that throne.”
― Criss Jami

“A high-born, high-minded man must show his nobility, not only in the way he deals with an injury, and in care for his behaviour, but also by taking up the affairs of others. A man in difficulties would turn confidently for help to the great man of his district. An Icelander who had lost his son, and 'could not see his way to take vengeance, or win his case at law, by himself, went to the headman of his district and said: "l want your help to gain my right in this matter", and he gave grounds for his demands as follows: "It touches your honour also, that men of violence should not have their will in these parts." The headman had then to take up the matter himself. If there was wizardry abroad, then the chieftain must "see to the matter", otherwise he could ill "hold his honour'. Nay more, apart from having to deal with living miscreants, a man who aspired to leadership over his fellows might be called upon to exorcise a ghost, on the ground that here was a task his honour required him to undertake. The man would be obliged to meet any claim so made on him, and that out of regard to his own weal or woe. An applicant for aid could, if needed, threaten to let himself be cut down where he stood, with consequent dishonour to the man whose door was closed against him.”
― Vilhelm Grønbech, The Culture of the Teutons: Volumes 1 and 2

“Each bout ended only when the king himself or his opponent declared him dead. Jaehaerys died so often that the men of his garrison made a game of it, shouting "The king is dead" every time he fell, and "Long live the king" when he struggled to his feet. His foes began a contest, wagering with one another to see which of them could kill the king the most.”
― George R.R. Martin, Fire & Blood

“Believe me, although it’s vexing to remember it, I am the King of my enemies as well as my friends. There’s a certain noblesse oblige, see. It’s a bad king who kills his subjects. I would rather see them humiliated than dead.”

“Having to fight viciously, and most times at the risk of its life before each meal detracts from the lion being King.”

“The King in chess is indeed a symbol of unity and wholeness and the other pieces are not separate entities but rather parts of “the One Thingâ€�, as Campbell put it.”

“In fiction, a declaration of love is often a grand affair, or at least a soliloquy full of lines that will more than likely end up on Pinterest boards of inspirational quotes. When Malcolm professes his love to Corrine, he says, “From the moment I awoke, I thought only of you. Of the golden softness of your hair, the smell of roses on your skin, the shades of starlight in your eyes. I’m used to spending my days preoccupied with matters so dull and dreary that I begin to envy the lark who perches outside my window and taunts me with his mirthful song. Yet today, I found myself singing along, enraptured by the memory of your warmth and the promise of your kiss. You have brought me to life, Corrine, at a time I thought that life had nothing more to offer me. And I love you. I love you.”
