I wish I wasn't an imperial highness or an ex-grand duchess. I'm sick of people doing things to me because of what I am. Girl-in-white-dress. Short-one-with-fringe. Daughter-of-the-tsar. Child-of-the-ex-tyrant. I want people to look and see me, Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova, not the caboose on a train of grand duchesses. Someday, I promise myself, no one will be able to hear my name or look at my picture and suppose they know all about me. Someday I will do something bigger than what I am.

King James I
Kings fight for empires, madmen for applause.
John Dryden
All the time I feel I must justify my existence.
Prince Of Wales Charles
Vulgarity in a king flatters the majority of the nation.
George Bernard Shaw
Princes give me sufficiently if they take nothing from me, and do me much good if they do me no hurt; it is all I require of them.
Michel de Montaigne
If God calls you to be a missionary, don't stoop to be a king.
Jordan Grooms
Kings are not born: they are made by artificial hallucination.
