Famous quotes containing the words united and/or kingdom:

    The real charm of the United States is that it is the only comic country ever heard of.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    It was many and many a year ago,
    In a kingdom by the sea,
    That a maiden there lived whom you may know
    By the name of Annabel Lee;
    And this maiden she lived with no other thought
    Than to love and be loved by me.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
