  • From Malory’s Le Morte D’Arthur, Book X, Chapter XXXVIII:

    "Sir, she said, wit you well that ye be a prisoner, and worse than ye ween; for my lady, my cousin Queen Morgan le Fay, keepeth you here for none other intent but for her to do her pleasure with you when it liketh her. O Jesu defend me, said Alisander, from such pleasure; for I had lever cut away my hangers than I would do her such pleasure.”

    Yikes!
  • From Malory’s Le Morte D’Arthur, Book X, Chapter XXXVIII:

    “And this duke had a daughter that hight Alice, that was a passing fair woman, and by cause of her father she was called Alice la Beale Pilgrim. And anon as she heard of this cry she went unto Arthur’s court, and said openly in hearing of many knights, that what knight may overcome that knight that keepeth that piece of earth shall have me and all my lands. When the knights of the Round Table heard her say thus many were glad, for she was passing fair and of great rents.”

    Apparently, she had huge tracts of land.
  • Three of my favorites from Baltimore Orioles manager Earl Weaver:

    "When you're winning, the umpire's bad calls don't matter."

    "It's what you learn after you know it all that counts."

    "It's easy to win when you're winning."
